Greetings from Church of Peace!
Advent begins this Sunday and with it comes a host of inspiring and fun times at Church of Peace.
Saturday morning at 9:00 our Sunday School students will gather for the first rehearsal for their Christmas program. They will be finished at 10:30. Parents, please make every effort to have your children participate in this rehearsal. Worship this Sunday will feature the lighting of the Advent Candle of Hope. The sanctuary will be enhanced for the new season. Join us at 8:45 a.m. Following worship on Sunday the Sunday School will meet. Adults are asked to stay after worship for an informational congregational meeting concerning the budget and staffing. This Sunday is the last day to order a poinsettia. Monday we serve Loaves and Fishes. You can sign up on the bulletin board at church. We will be working from 3:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Any day you’d like, you can stop in the church office from 9-1 to purchase a Church of Peace ornament that is being sold by the Ladies of Peace. The ornaments are $6.00.
Looking ahead:
Golden Fellowship will be held on Tuesday, December 12th at 11:00 a.m. The program will feature the Copper Canyon area of Mexico. Lunch will follow. Please sign up on the bulletin board. The Service of Remembrance and Hope will be held on Thursday, December 14th at 7:00 p.m. This serene, peace-filled service will refresh your soul, especially if you are missing someone this Advent and Christmastime. Church Family Caroling will be begin with a pizza party on 5:00 p.m., Sunday, December 17th. We will take a bus to several places and spread some cheer for the Christmas season. We’ll be done by 7:30 p.m. Please sign up on the bulletin board.
Please remember to pray for all those who are grieving, especially these families from our congregation: the families of Leo Zinniel and Shirley Schwebke.
That’s the news from Church of Peace.
We’ll see you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim
