This Week at Peace - - August 12, 2012




 

    Summer is beginning to come to a close.   Teachers and students are preparing to return to school.    Church activities will soon accelerate.   This is our last Sunday with Marilyn Tucker, our seminary intern.    We are grateful for the ten weeks of devoted service Marilyn has offered Peace.

I have heard strong reviews of the sermons preached by both Marilyn and Kim Adams, our own seminarian.   Peace is blessed to have so many experienced ministers, and is doubly blessed to participate in the training of new ministers.

This Sunday we will read John 6:35, 41-51, a mysterious text in which Jesus calls himself the “bread of life” given “for the life of the world.”   We will reflect on what it means to be a eucharistic congregation, celebrating communion weekly.   Come, smell, taste, and see the goodness of the Lord.   According to  John, we need this bread-flesh-real Christ to live forever.

If you are away, safe travels and we look forward to having you back.   If you are in town, we will be eager to feast with you.

Christ's peace be with you,

Elizabeth
