We had a delicious Gratitude Feast on
Wednesday night, our last Wonderful Wednesday of the
fall. We were inspired to hear the grateful testimonies of four
Peace people whose ages spanned 60 years.
With hearts full of gratitude for God’s gifts, we bring our gifts this Sunday. All are encouraged to prayerfully consider your pledge for 2015 and to complete the pledge form attached and bring on Sunday (forms in the bulletin also).
Our scripture reading is 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3,8-18. It describes the perspective of a grateful Christian. New member, David Klement will share his thoughts on gratitude, and there will be special music at both services. The video-based class “Jesus and the Gospels” resumes this week in the Gathering Room. Read your bulletin and the monitors for more announcements.
In the afternoon, some folks will set off for Godspell and others for kayaking. Thirty to forty of us were thoroughly engaged Friday night by our own brother, Anderson Kajang, Cameroon-American, who led the Faith and Film discussion of Mary and Martha, a movie which helps us to feel the tragic pain of malaria, which still kills more than half a million children every year, more than 80% of them in Sub-Saharan Africa.
If you are out of town, pledges mail be mailed to the church, or turned in next Sunday. They will be handled confidentially. We do hope everyone will participate as a sign of your commitment to Christ and the ministries and mission of Peace.
Peace to you,
Elizabeth
