Your Peace staff and volunteers have added a brief prayer service to our work day. We are using the daily morning prayers from the Book of Common Worship, which I will attach, in case you’d like to join us in praying each day at noon. You can use this wherever you are. Stop for five minutes and remember who is in charge of this world.
This week’s scripture, Romans 5:1-5 invites us to move from suffering to endurance to character to hope. College daughter Emily says this is her favorite scripture, and it is truly a gem!
A few dates to remember: Discover Your Gifts begins Sunday 5-6 for 8 weeks! Couples at Peace will enrich your relationship – three weeks Wednesdays at 6:15. Sisters of Peace, let Suzi Regulski Shirey know if you’re coming to the 2:00 Tea Party (not the political group) on April 2. Nancy Hughes needs checks asap for those going to the Passion Play in Wauchula on April 9.
New and prospective members – learn more about Peace and about the Presbyterian Church by attending a class April 3 and 10 from 11:30-12:30. Everyone, mark your calendars now for our Good Friday Service on April 22ndat 7:00.
On Sunday we will celebrate the new membership of Martha and Bob Waldrop and of Kristina Pino, joining with her children, Ethan and Grace! The Mission Team will encourage you to keep the Lenten discipline of sharing by making small yet significant sacrifices for the sake of others.
Pastor Tricia requests your prayers as she, along with a couple of other adults, will supervise Peace’s first ever “lock-in” with nearly a dozen youth tonight! Thank God for our ministry center, because no sane adult would invite such a large group of teens into their home for the night.
Finally, a special request from our friend Glenn Kiplinger (wheel-chair bound) who lost his beloved wife, Martha, one month ago: Please consider providing a home for Martha’s Jack Russell Terrier, Parker, who is too difficult for Glenn to manage in his new assisted living facility.
Peace to all,
Elizabeth
