Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12:9
Dear friend,
I’ve been enjoying Jesus’ words this week in Matthew 10 “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” (verse 39).
As we make daily choices, we have a good opportunity to “leave behind” old parts of our false selves. With so many routines disrupted, we can take away new activities that lead to healthier, abundant life with God and the people around us.
One thing I’ve been glad to leave behind is indirect communication. No one is around, so if I want to talk to people, I’ve got to talk right to them!
What about you? What have you left behind? Let’s talk, 269-694-6104.
See you Sunday around the Word!

P.S. Guidelines for gatherings remain basically the same. We are passing out more service folders in doors if you like them, and, if you’re a hymnbook person, you’re welcome to bring your own or select one on-site and store it in your box as your own.
Wednesday “Study and Supper”
Everyone is welcome to a safe, small opportunity for worship and building relationships on Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. We finish before 7:30
Each week features a Bible study and discussion, prayer, confession, singing, and the Lord’s Supper.
This event is a great supplement for individuals worshiping off-site, or a simple worship/study time.
Attendance is limited to about 15. Masks are required.
Open Forum and Voters’ Meeting
The second quarter Open Forum is scheduled for July 19th at 11:45 am. All are welcome to attend.
The open forum is an opportunity to respond to proposals and initiatives. Individuals are welcome to give public feedback on the work of the congregation. Anyone is always welcome to bring feedback to pastor or council if necessary.
If the second quarter Voters’ Meeting takes place, it will be July 26th at 11:45. At this time, there are no business items to address.
Documentation will be available at the meeting. If you’d like information provided to you directly, you’re welcome to sign up.
Choir 2020-2021
Past, present or future choir members:
Due to the COVID 19 virus, we have decided that choir will have to be put on hold for now and not start in the fall. This wasn't a tough decision because the safety of our Peace members comes before anything else.
We don't know yet when we will be able to start up again, but more than likely it won't be until the situation has significantly improved (vaccine, large number of immune individuals).
If there are any Peace members that would be interested in helping with our worship by singing solos or cantoring (guiding congregational singing) please let pastor know.
