and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding with knowledge and with all kinds of skills- Exodus 31:3
Dear friend,
In your opinion, what takes the most humility in life?
Washing someone else’s stinky feet?
Admitting you were wrong?
Accepting correction?
Asking for forgiveness?
Accepting forgiveness?
Forgiving someone else?
And the list could go on for quite a while….
We’re filling our wall with wisdom from the Word for the good life. If you’d like to grow in wisdom and add to ours, join us this week!
Sunday Services at 9 indoor and 10:45 outdoor!
Sincerely,
Pastor Timmermann

Hometown Christmas Volunteers needed!
December 5th, 2020
The City of Otsego intends to celebrate Christmas downtown on December 5th.
We have the opportunity, if we are interested, to make many connections by handing out hot cocoa during the celebration.
If you are interested helping us serve the city in this way, please submit your information here: Hot Cocoa Volunteer. We’ll have to do this safely, within health guidelines. We appreciate your continued volunteer spirit!
Facility Use Policy Update
Our facility is provided through God’s benevolence and by the generosity of our congregation.
In order to keep the facility and grounds available for ministry, we are excited to clarify our facility use policy.
We desire to bring great opportunities to our Peace family. The new policy will welcome both memebers and the community of the greater Otsego-Plainwell area within limitations. Policy changes include:
All the facilities and grounds of Peace Lutheran Church may be used by both members and people of the greater Otsego-Plainwell area, except for the sanctuary
Those who are not members may only host or offer nonreligious activities
Other clarifications of use must be in accord with our insurance company suggested policy and WELS related policy
Scheduling of the use of the facility and grounds should be done through the office. First come first served based on requests in writing
Use of the grounds by Peace will be prioritized. However, previously scheduled community activities may not be cancelled if a Peace activity was not on the calendar
The building and grounds chairman and pastor will make the decision regarding use. Questionable situations should be brought to the council
So as to avoid confusion regarding income, while community groups are encouraged to give a donation in thanks for the use and the community participation, such a donation is not to be understood as payment for the use
Anyone who uses the facility is responsible for cleaning it unless prior arrangement has been made
Outside individuals or groups with insurance should add Peace as an insured if possible, or put their insurance on file at Peace
Use of the facility must be approved by the insurance company
All those who use the facility should operate in good faith and avoid holding Peace or any individuals liable
Please bring questions and suggestions regarding facility use to pastor or Jon Ott (maintenance) before October 18th. On that day, we’ll discuss it at the open forum. The policy will God will be approved on October 25th at the voters’ meeting.
