Peace Presbyterians,
This week in worship we will read the story of Jonah and consider what it
means to obey: to go and do as God calls. Read the little humorous book
of Jonah before Sunday. See how mad Jonah gets when God forgives
those people of Ninevah.
Pray for the unity of the Presbyterian Church USA, as the Fellowship of
Presbyterians is gathered in Orlando to form a new Reformed body called the
Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians. We are not sure
whether this new group means some churches will exit our denomination or
whether they will remain while keeping a distinct identity within the
denomination.
I am excited to let you know that seven older youth are camping in Key West
with Pastor Tricia, Bill Clough, and Jenny Sheffield, as
chaperones. What a joy to have a growing youth program! Last
week-end, nearly the same number of younger youth were traveling.
The Building Vision Team has now met twice with the Lawson Group, our
architectural firm, to work toward a Master Plan for Lorraine Road.
Ideas from our vision retreat two years ago were shared with Lawson and
Kelle, who are getting on board with who we are at Peace. Come to the
congregational meeting next Sunday, the 29th to hear more about the
steady progress of this team and our other great ministry teams at Peace!
New elders will be ordained in worship on the 29th. We will share a soup
luncheon, and the meeting will follow. No Lively learning that
day. Please bring your own soup bowls or mugs in plastic bags, so
you can sample lots of yummy soups, without worry of heat or spillage.
And you can wash your own darn dish when you get home!
Peace to all,
Elizabeth
