This Week at Peace - September 16, 2011

Dear Friends,

We hope you will be worshiping with us this Sunday, as we explore the generous hospitality of Jesus in the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matt 20:1-16) and his teaching on whom we might help or invite to dinner. (Luke 14:1-6; 12-14) This is our final week in the Foundations of the Presbyterian Church and our question is "Who is going with us?" We are called to be open to all whom Jesus calls into our midst and open to the reforming power of the Holy Spirit in our common life.

It's a great time to join Peace! Come to an 11:30 gathering this Sunday to learn more about being part of the Peace family. Then you'll be ready on World Communion/Peacemaking Sunday to stand with others in worship who are declaring their trust in Jesus Christ, renouncing evil and affirming their reliance on the grace of God, and intending to be active and responsible in the worship, ministry, and mission of the church. There are many different ways to be a faithful member. Think about it and let me know if you're ready. It would make my day!

Peace to all,

Elizabeth
