Dear Peacemakers,
Now is the time for us to take a big step toward an exciting
future. God seems to be providing a great opportunity, just
when we really needed it. It is not our dream church
building, but it will function very well for our worship, ministry, and
mission, until we can make aesthetic improvements. Please
come view the Faith Church property on Lorraine Road between Hwy 70 and
Hwy 64 on Saturday between 3:00 and 4:00.
On Sunday after worship, we will have our annual congregational meeting
(no Lively Learning classes). While enjoying delicious
homemade soups, we will hear reports from Ministry Teams and see the
current year budget.
We will welcome new members this Sunday, as well as ordain and install
four elders to the class of 2015 and one youth elder for a single year
term. The scripture is 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Paul’s
suggestion that the church’s various members function together like
parts of the body. Come be hands, feet, arms, legs, hearts,
minds, eyes, ears, and smiles with us on Sunday. Come get your
new photo and address directories, as well as a beautiful promo page
for the Faith Church project and a list of accomplishments and goals of
Peace teams.
And lest we focus entirely on our own needs, Peace will join many
others in our presbytery and elsewhere in gleaning oranges in an
unharvested grove in Nokomis on Saturday, Feb 2. The oranges
will feed the hungry in our area through local food
banks. All ages may participate (no ladders or tree
climbing necessary). Learn more Sunday!
Thank you for your undying devotion to being Christ’s body here at
Peace together. It takes every one working together...
With much gratitude and many prayers,
Elizabeth
