Greetings from Church of Peace!
It is World Communion Sunday. Be
one of millions of Christians around the globe to celebrate our unity as
Christ’s people. The Chapel Choir will provide an anthem. Worship begins at 8:45. Tonight’s NEW Worship
will also feature Holy Communion.
Sunday after social hour, set-up
for the rummage sale will begin. You can
bring your stuff in then or drop it off on Monday. The sale is Tuesday all day and Wednesday
morning. In addition to your used
treasures, baked goods are needed for the sale.
Thanks for helping!
This year, there will be no CROP
Walk in Fond du Lac.
But there will be a fun opportunity for Church of Peace
members to help the hungry the way the CROP Walk did, through the same
ecumenical agency – Church World Service.
We will be “selling” animals for a Church of Peace
farm. You can “buy” a chicken, rabbit,
pig, or cow. At the end of October, our
farm will be dedicated and the money sent to Church World Service for emergency
and development aid. Please plan to support this project which will help the
very poorest people in the world.
Forgiving family members who have
hurt you can be very difficult. Forgiving Your Family is an easy-to-read
book that helps Christians move from bitterness to peace. We’ll be meeting Sundays, October 20th-November
10th from 10:00 to 11:00 to discuss this book. If you are interested, you can pick up a
book in the church office for $5.00.
That’s the news from Church of Peace.
We’ll see you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim
A prayer for today: O God, you are the Fount of Life. From you flows all health and vitality. Touch
me with your healing power. From you
flows all beauty. Help me to appreciate
the loveliness of the creation during this autumn season. From you flows all kindness. Open my heart
and hands to those in need. I pray in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
