You did it again, you generous people! You
increased your giving to the Manatee Food Bank for hungry
people on Halloween – 13,600 lbs. of food. Special thanks to the
Mission Team, and to Weston, Summerfield, and University Park, where Peace’s
food drive is tradition!
It’s always gratitude season, but as we get closer to Thanksgiving, we must count our blessings. Give thanks to God for every day of life and its gifts to you. Give thanks to God for every person in your family, even the one who drives you crazy.
Give thanks for Peace Church, for the amazing way God has led us from several people around a kitchen table, to twenty-five on Sunday nights at Living Lord Lutheran, to less than a hundred at SCF, to more than one hundred at MAR, to nearly three hundred of us after one year in our beautiful new home! So many interesting people, with different journeys of faith, all coming together as one in Christ. Give thanks with a grateful heart.
This Sunday we read in chapter 24 the challenge of Joshua to the people to put God first. “Choose this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Choosing to put God first means giving back. Pledge forms will be in the bulletin for you to take home and prayerfully consider.
Don’t forget the Gratitude Dinner on Wednesday at 5:45 for a 6:00 start. Bring your favorite foods. Everyone, please come, even if you have to arrive at 6:30 empty-handed. No problem. This will be our last Wonderful Wednesday until mid February.
If you want something to do on Wednesdays, it is a great time to join the Christmas choir!
Also, remember Kayaking and Godspell – two separate fellowship activity options for Sundayafternoon, November 16! Speak to Pastor Neil or Elder Eirinn.
Peace,
Elizabeth
