Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:21
Dear friend,
Are you tired of waiting? Tired of businesses closed, tired of staying home, and tired of waiting to see people. Psalm 27 tells us when there is trouble, we can count on God’s goodness. Until then, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Waiting is one of the best ways to show God we trust him. I invite you to join me this weekend to wait better. See you Sunday at 9 or 10:30 am!
Blessings,
Nathaniel, pastor at Peace
Bean bag toss night
Cornhole/bean bag toss party! Come out for some good hearted competition. July 31 5:30 - 10:00. Bring your own sides for your crew or eat before you come; we’ll have brats and hot dogs on. S’mores to close out the night!
Let pastor know if you have a set of boards you can bring. Can't wait to see you!
Facility repair
The facility at Peace was impacted by the hail storm that struck the Otsego - Plainwell area in the beginning of April. Since then, we have learned about the facility and gained proposals for repair. We’ve recently agreed with a contractor for most of the work. John Ott, the maintenance leader, will serve as the director of the project.
The work will take place in the last week of July and the beginning weeks of August. The facility will be available on weekends, but please plan to give the workers space during the week.
The roof of the main buildings will be reshingled. If you are interested in seeing a sample, you may see one in the lobby this weekend (July 12th). It is substantially similar to the current shingles.
Food to help
Can we gather one food item from every participant in the month of July?
Our Christian Neighbors items for July are fruits and juices. But Christian Neighbors is serving many needs and could use: peanut butter and jelly, boxed dinners, spaghetti pasta and sauce, oatmeal, canned meat, tuna, beans, rice - basic nonperishable goods.
Add an item by the large wooden box in the family center. Thanks for your support of those in need!
Lawnmower for sale
Peace recently replaced its lawnmower. The old lawnmower (John Deere 60” with roof over the seat) has definitely known quite a few years of wear and tear. It has been maintained. $500. Please contact the church office or Paul Retberg if you are interested to see the mower. Within the next week the mower will be made available to the public.
