Ten people from Peace attended the Presbytery’s Main Event, this year featuring a professor on the subject of CONVERGENCE WORSHIP. I am attaching Mickey Miller’s notes as well as two articles by Dr. Cherry, for those who are interested in learning more. (below)
One of our take-home messages is that we should not spend more time in announcements than we spend praying in worship, so we are trimming our announcements and counting on you to read This Week at Peace and TAKE YOUR BULLETIN HOME to be informed of all Peace’s opportunities for mission, fellowship, and learning.
The Fellowship Team invites you to ADULTS NIGHT OUT (bring friends if you’d like) at Demetrios, 17220 Cortez Road, Bradenton, 34207. Nancy Hughes is making reservations. nanskodi7@gmail.com
See the life of Christ enacted in the outdoor arena at Wauchula’s annual PASSION PLAY on April 9th. Arrange your tickets ($18 adults, $16 kids) through Nancy and Bob Hughes.
The Mission Team believes that members of Peace have won the lottery! Just tick off our blessings: we’ve been born in the United States, we enjoy clean water and abundant food; we are free to move and communicate and organize. Get your SHARING CALENDAR for Lent, and grow in gratitude. Note: Family Promise Garage Sale – First Presbyterian, Bradenton, 15th St W and Manatee Ave 8:00-2:00.
We are all concerned with the tragedy in JAPAN. Let me remind you that one-third of our One Great Hour of Sharing Offering (collected on Easter or before) will be given to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, working in Japan and other areas of desperate need. We will sing a prayer for the Japanese this week, in place of our Doxology.
Sunday’s SERMON will be a dialogue between Pastor Tricia and me about the most often quote verse of scripture: John 3:16 God so loved the world… I’m hoping to see YOU this Sunday!
And if you’d like to view A MOVIE, The Postman (Il Postino), with Peace friends, we’ll see you tonight!
With love and deep gratitude for our community of faith and our Lord’s love,
Elizabeth
