Greetings from Church of Peace,
Where did the time go? Last Sunday, little Jesus was visited by the
Wise Men. This Sunday, he’s 30 years old
and being baptized in the River Jordan.
Join us at 8:45 a.m. as we gather to sing, pray, and gain guidance from
the Divine.
Tonight you are invited to a time
that includes a sermon by Andy Griffith, singing, praying, and enjoying the company
of other Christian people. We’ll begin
at 6:30 in Gammert Hall.
During this cold weather, the
homeless folks in our city have been cared for in shelters which are
administered by the Solutions
Center. Supplies are running low in the
shelters. On behalf of the Church of Peace congregation, four cases of toilet
paper are being delivered today to them.
The money for this came from our food pantry fund. How heart-warming for us that we are able to
share Christ’s love in this way.
We know of two people who are
hospitalized: Juli Beilke and Barb Demaskie.
Please remember them in your prayers.
Please also pray for the family of Herman Rucks; Herman died this past
weekend.
That’s the news from Church of Peace.
We’ll see you in church!
Pastors
Jenny and Jim
A prayer for today: Keep me mindful, O Heavenly Friend, that
whatever is going on in my life, you are in the midst of it. As I face challenges and celebrate victories,
remind me that you will walk with me through any difficulties and that your
hand is behind every blessing. Show me how to touch others with your love. I pray that your healing light will shine
upon Juli Beilke and Barb Demaskie and that the family of Herman Rucks will
feel your solace. Amen.
Ushers this week: Iris Abitz, Mary
Lange, Steve O'Krueg , Isabel Post, Stephanie Sharpe.
