Glad for Grads!

Congratulations to our 2014 high school graduates:  Abigail, Amanda, Danielle, Emily, Julie, Liz, Sarah!   We also remember Tim, graduating in Vero Beach, and Ernie, who is departing for college, having spent the last year with us at Peace while attending SCF.  We give thanks to God for your accomplishments and for your future full of promise. 

Our graduates are ascending to young adulthood just as we celebrate the Ascension of Christ this year. Ephesians 1:15-23, the Ascension Day epistle lesson, invites us to pray for a spirit of wisdom and revelation as we come to know God, that with the eyes of our hearts enlightened, we may know what is the hope to which God has called, what are the riches of God’s glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe.

On Sunday, please take a moment to sign the gift books for our grads and enjoy cake and time to mingle with our young stars.  When you are not signing books and talking to our glad grads, please write a prayer joy or concern on a red ribbon to prepare for Pentecost, next Sunday.  Write a gratitude prayer for Pastor Neil's new granddaughter!  He hates to miss Sunday but he and Malinda are welcoming little Evelyn to the world in Colorado!

Our special PC(USA) offering for Pentecost, June 8 (red day) will support the ministries of our denomination to youth, young adults and at-risk children.   Forty percent of our offering will directly support our own Russ, young adult volunteer in mission next year.

The peace of Christ be with you all,

Elizabeth
