Dear Friends,
It was great to see many of you returning from vacations last
week. Our attendance jumped from 80 to 120.
With choir back tomorrow, I expect we will be even stronger in
worship. Thank you for supporting the car wash and lemonade
stand last week with $433 of generous giving.
Some of you have asked where we are with building plans. The
Building Vision Team will meet again with architects and builder on August
2 to hear several options on how to scale back to an affordable first phase
building project. In the meantime, we are still grateful for the
gift of our current ministry center, and for all who work so faithfully to
set up weekly for worship. We are building the church and the
church is YOU!
Many of our middle schoolers left for the Montreat Conference at
Presbyterian College this morning. They will also enjoy a few
days at a family lakehouse in S.C. with Pastor Tricia and Suzi Regulski and
the First Presbyterian youth.
Tomorrow Marilyn Tucker preaches her first sermon for a congregation.
She has boldly chosen a challenging Gospel lesson – Mark 6:14-29, the story
of the death of John the Baptist. Her sermon will explore the
question, “Where is God?” Don’t forget that she has just
initiated a Bible study each Wednesday night at 7:00 to explore the coming
lectionary passages.
Vacation Bible School is coming soon – week-end of July 27-29.
Find attached a flyer, or pick one up at church. Offer support
to Mary Ann and crew by bringing items on the board.
Also, please collect your giving statements with our deep gratitude for the
way you support Peace with your time, talent, and your
treasure. You demonstrate your values by the way you
live. God is smiling when you give!
Peace to all,
Elizabeth
