This Sunday we welcome more new members and think
about what it means to be “Clay in the Hands of God,” as we read Jeremiah
18:1-11 and 2 Corinthians 4:7-11. You would do well to read these
verses before Sunday. Over the week-end at Peace we have Movie
Night (Fri 7), Mom’s Night Out (Sat 6:30), and Youth Pool
Party and Parents’ meeting (Sun 4)
I have not allowed myself to get excited early about our new property on Hwy 64 because we are still waiting for zoning approval to close in November. But now it is impossible to hold back the dreams of all the things God can do with us in a new, permanent home. It is not perfect, but there is so much potential. I am much more enthusiastic about this building and land than I ever was for the Faith Church property. The Outreach and Building Vision Teams are meeting together to discuss signage – permanent signage – after eight years of hassling with signs up and signs down every week-end.
Our prayers continue to be with all who are struggling, especially the Seiter family. Our Stephen Ministers are active supporting people who need extra support, and the Congregational Care Team prays for every single one of you – every day. Pray also for the Nominating Committee, discerning the next class of elders for Peace.
Last but not least, let us remember to pray for peace in Syria and other troubled regions of the world, even as we prepare for our World Communion/Peacemaking Sunday, where we will enjoy a food festival and peacemaking activities for children after worship. A special offering taken that day will support our own peacemaking efforts, as well as peace around the world. Two peacemakers from Madagascar are coming to speak to us on Thursday, October 17. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”
Peace to you!
