Greetings from Church of Peace!
What an enriching worship service
is planned for this Sunday at Church
of Peace! The theme is “Living Water.” The Sonshine Singers youth choir will provide
an anthem. We’ll begin at 8:45 a.m. Join
us!
Tonight at 6:30 our Thursday NEW
Worship will take place in the Upper Room at 6:30.
Shirley Hanke is a patient at St. Agnes
Hospital. Please remember her in your
prayers.
Has a little voice inside your
heart been telling you that you should think about going on a mission
trip? Maybe that “little” voice is none
other than the Holy Spirit. Plan to
attend the informational meeting at 6:30 Sunday evening in Gammert Hall about
our upcoming trip to Appalachia. You’ll learn
what you need to know to make a decision about participating this summer.
Something noteworthy is happening
at Church of Peace today. Our building is getting greener. Electricians
are replacing the fluorescent bulbs which light our hallways and halls with
energy-efficient ballasts and brighter bulbs.
Because of the Focus on Energy program and a contribution from an
environmentally-concerned member, this is being done at no cost to the
congregation. It will significantly
lower our energy bills as well as help to preserve the earth’s natural
resources.
On Sunday you can pick up copies
of the proposed budget for 2013, the Endowment Fund proposal, and the minutes
of the last Annual Meeting. Please
peruse these before the 2013 Annual Meeting which will be held on January 27th. Next Sunday, January 20th, after
worship we will hold an informational meeting about the proposed budget.
That’s the news from Church of Peace.
We’ll see you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim
A prayer for today: Merciful God, my greatest desire is to keep
you in the center of my life. Keep me from being distracted by my tasks and
appointments today. Show me how to live faithfully and joyfully while meeting
the obligations of day-to-day life.
Bless Shirley Hanke and all who are sick with your healing touch. I pray
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
