Dear Peace Family,
Tomorrow’s memorial service (officiated by Peace) celebrating the life of
Gretchen Frueh will be held at 2:00 Saturday at First Presbyterian at 2050
Oak Street, Sarasota with reception to follow. I know that
many of you will want to be there to support John and the family.
Sunday at Peace we will read the story of Jesus’ calling the
fishermen. We’ll think about what it means for us to follow
Christ. Five new elders will be ordained for service on the
session. Pray for Andrew Deibert, youth; Kathy Flora, Jenny
Sheffield, Don Simpson, and Mark Winters.
Right after worship, we will set up for our soup and bread lunch.
If you did not sign up for food, just bring a crock pot of soup, some bread,
cheese, or whatever…along with your own soup mug or bowl. We will
slurp sumptuous soup while hearing of the 2011 progress and 2012 plans of
Peace from Ministry Team Leaders and Elders.
We have a great Peace Presbyterian folder for each individual or family,
containing a new photo directory of current Peace participants, along with a
current address directory, 2012 budget, and the annual report summary.
We will be finished with lunch and meeting by 12:30, but you can slip
out if needed. No Lively learning groups will meet, but
young children can escape to childcare after eating.
God has richly blessed us in the short time we have been a church – just 2 ¼
years ago we were officially chartered. We’ve grown from 20 to
200 in six years of worship! I am so grateful for each of you and
your commitment to making Peace what we are today!
Peace,
Elizabeth
