Dear Friends of
Peace,
There is no holly jolly when you learn that many elementary school children
have been gunned down today in Connecticut. So maybe we stop
focusing so much on the holly jolly, and instead prayerfully seek the hope
and joy of a Holy Jesus. God came into this troubled and
violent world to live among us and to show us the wonder of comforting,
sacrificial love. Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we see
God’s Love Magnified in the words of the God-bearer, Mother
Mary.
Next Sunday at 10:00 we will hear the voices of angels as they speak to
Joseph, Mary, and the shepherds. And on Christmas Eve at 6:00,
we will celebrate the birth of Christ with lessons and carols, communion
and candlelight.
Our mission is to make God known by growing as disciples of Jesus Christ
(we don't have all the answers, but are humble seekers growing
together), building a community of peace (this world desperately needs more
peace), and caring for the needs of others (in generously serving
others, we find joy).
Thanks, Peace participants for all your generous giving and for your vision
to build a Christian community called Peace. May God strengthen us
for our mission.
Angel tree gifts are due this Sunday, and it is your last opportunity
to order Alternative Gifts International to help the needy near and far by
giving meaningful gifts to your family and friends.
Peace be with you all!
Pastor Elizabeth
