Happy New
Year from Church
of Peace! It is our prayer
that you will be richly blessed by God’s grace throughout the New Year.
This
Sunday is Epiphany Sunday, the day each year
when we
celebrate the coming of the Magi to honor the infant Jesus. This year, Epiphany
will have special meaning to us as we proclaim a modern day version of bringing
gifts to the Christ Child – our total pledged amount for the Building to Serve
Campaign. Holy Communion will be celebrated. Join us at 8:45 a.m.
Shirley
Hanke is hospitalized, recovering from surgery. Please pray that God’s healing
light will continue to shine upon her.
Next
Sunday, January 11th, the Church Council will host a budget meeting
for all interested members in the Choir Room at 10:15 a.m. The purpose of this
meeting is to answer questions and get input about the 2015 budget which will be
officially presented at the Annual Meeting on January 25th.
That’s
the news from Church of Peace.
We’ll see
you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim
A prayer
for today:
Like the ancient wise men, I seek
your guiding light, O God. Bless me with a deep sense of direction as I try to
live faithfully. Don’t let me give up when life’s journey seems long or
difficult. I pray that you will bless Shirley Hanke with returning health and
strength. I pray these things in the name of Christ.
Amen.
