Greetings from Church of Peace,
Is your life calm right now or in
the midst of a storm? Either way, you’ll
find Sunday’s Scripture story strengthening.
Join us as we read about Jesus walking on the water and calming the
storm. The service will begin at 8:45
a.m.
Tonight we will gather at 6:30
for a worship service which will include communion. We will meet in the sanctuary.
Last Sunday’s children sermon
emphasized how abundantly God provides.
Twelve families received shopping bags which they will fill with
groceries and return this Sunday. If
you’d like to participate, fill a paper shopping bag and bring it Sunday. It will help teach the children about God’s
generosity. And you’ll feel really good about it, too.
Saturday is the Summer Women’s Birthday
Gathering at 10:00 a.m. All women with
summer birthdays are encouraged to attend. The place has been changed – it will
be held at Rolling Meadows Restaurant. We’d appreciate a call (921-8215) if you
can join us.
One member of our congregation
remains hospitalized – Carol Moon. Please remember her when you pray.
The Messenger is now available at the church and on line (subversivecinema.com).
Sunday, August 17th
will bring us the opportunity to worship outside at Mauthe Lake
and to enjoy a picnic/potluck. All you
need to bring is a dish to pass and a lawn chair. A bus is available. It will leave COP at 10:00 a.m. and return
between 1:30 and 2:00. Please let us
know if you plan to attend so we can have plenty of drinks and main dish for
everyone.
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 have blessed me with another day
of life. May I enjoy it and use its
hours to serve you. Bless Carol Moon as
she recovers from surgery. Bless our
church family with a sense of purpose and peace. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
