Then you will call on me and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah 29:12
Dear friend,
“You're driving me crazy!” We've all got people in life that are hard to put up with.
This week Jesus shocks us with a message about the people who drive us crazy. I find it even more surprising that he says it about evil people and people who belong to the evil one. Even them? I shouldn't destroy them or ignore them?
Nope.
See you Sunday to hear what we should do with them. 9:00 am indoors or online, 10:30 outside. We’re worshiping about 40 and 50 people respectively.
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!
Food to help
We’re doing great collecting one item per July participant. We’re about halfway to the goal of 323 participants.
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 to the table by the large wooden box in the family center. Thanks for your support of those in need!
Lawnmower sold - Thanks!
Serving God and his people
As we head into the fall, there are many opportunities to serve God and others through Peace.
How are you serving God and others? Is it time to serve in a new way? What gifts and talents do you have that could be used for God and others? Want to find some gifts and talents? You could take this survey and share it with us.
If you want to know some ways people are serving and you could serve, check out the team at Peace. We’d love to have you!
AV team
I’m impressed by and grateful for the willingness of a number of individuals to help Peace get online: Cindy Comissaris, Kaitlyn Nelson, Charlie Kling, Connor Hall, and Clara Timmermann.
We could really use your help to get better and fill in the gaps. If you’d like to help us improve our online experience, please contact pastor at 269-694-6104 or church@peaceotsego.org. Thanks!
Fall plan
We’re formulating our fall plan for ministry - services, studies, events, and more - as we try to adjust to COVID. We’d love your input and help. If you have thoughts and suggestions, let’s talk! Pastor is listening.
