Dear Friends,
Here’s a little Peace news for the next couple of weeks:
The Building Vision Team has approached Manatee County
officials with our zoning application for the new potential property. We hope a contract will follow. We know you will want a full report before
voting about this new prospective home for Peace. The Outreach Team is working on a new set of
outside greeters, while the Stewardship Team is recruiting people to serve as
“buddies” to new members.
I will be in Montreat, NC from June 14-30 arriving for the
last evening worship with the youth, attending the Worship & Music
Conference, and spending a week with my family, ending the time with a nephew’s
wedding. In an emergency, you may reach
me at: 941-779-4900, but
otherwise, take good care of one another – as our text last week said, “Contribute
to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Rejoice with those
who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another.”
Bill Kemp will be preaching and celebrating this Sunday on
Galatians 2:15-21 and Luke 7:36-50: “A
Doctrine that Doesn’t Like Walls.” Grant Lowe brings the Word and Sacrament on
the 23rd. His text is
Matthew 6:9-13, most particularly, the phrase from the Lord’s Prayer: “Thy
Kingdom come; Thy will be done.”
Neil MacQueen is taking the lead on Sunday, the 30th, and he says his
sermon is already taking shape in his head, as he packs up boxes to move with
the family to a new house.
Faithful Director Gia will be back from the Youth Conference
and back in the office sometime next week. Family Choir begins on July 7th – Sunday
rehearsals at 9:15.
Peaceful Moms (with kids under 21) Sleepover at Eirinn
Camphire's house on July 5 at 5:00 will be fun.
Sounds like eight are already looking forward to it.
Thanks to Tricia for posting on Peace’s Facebook page this
three minute taste of the youth conference at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JI0AmBNEPU

If you are traveling, go with the grace and peace of Christ.
Hope to see you soon.
Prayerfully,
Elizabeth
