Food For All Saints and Souls

Friends in Christ, I hope you are collecting piles and piles of food from your neighbors.  If not, I hope you will write a fat check to Peace with memo (Food Bank) because we want to surpass our total from last year – 11, 515 pounds of real food for real hungry people.   We CAN make a difference! Besides, if you don’t contribute something for the hungry this Sunday, then the scripture reading will make you feel guilty.   It is the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man.   It is one of those reversal of fortune passages that is hard to hear, if you live comfortably.   Not sure if I can avoid stepping on our toes this week, but I trust the Spirit will make it a good news day. It’s All Saints & All Souls Sunday at Peace, so we will begin our service with the naming of special persons who have died, who are still very much with us.  Then we will sing For All the Saints.  Toward the end of our worship we will have a Call to Gratitude every Sunday until Thanksgiving. Lastly, a short-notice invitation to all newcomers to Peace – and anyone who has never spent any time in the Deibert house:   You are invited to a very casual dinner from 5:30 – 8:30 on Sunday night, the 2nd.  Children, food, and beverages of all types are welcome.   We will grill some chicken and make some cabbage/kale slaw for your good health.   Come when you can; leave when you must.   Write back to let me know IF you are coming.   No pressure – just want to spend some time building friendships.   6421 Blue Grosbeak Circle, 34202  (756-8153) Peace to you all, Elizabeth
