Big News! -- January 27, 2013


 
               
 
 
 

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
