Peace Family,

Three of us went today to hear Pastor Leon Dorleans of Haiti Outreach Ministries speak at a Presbyterian Church in Punta Gorda.  How exciting to hear about a thriving ministry of worship, education, orphanage, and healthcare! 

Session met Thursday night and here are some highlights:  The Building Vision Team has secured zoning board dates, which point to a late November closing and a final move in early January.   At that time the Sunday morning schedule will include worship at 8:30 and 11:00 with fellowship/learning in the middle.  Plan to connect with all your Peace friends in that middle hour, whether you worship early or late.  In September a new set of outdoor greeters will enhance our warm welcome at Peace and a new buddy system will help new members find their way to meaningful involvement.
  
Sunday’s Gospel reading is the story of the sisters, Martha and Mary.  We will reflect on the significance of doing nothing but listening. The Summer Family Choir is great fun.  Anyone may join just by showing up at 9:15.  Family Fun will include making “You are beautiful!” mirrors for residents of The Windsor at 11:30.  A new Fellowship Team is emerging.  Stay and share your ideas with Kathy Flora after worship.

Thanks for your continuing generosity, which keeps the ministry of Peace thriving.   Hope to see you Sunday!

Christ’s peace to all,

Elizabeth
