What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived - the things God has prepared for him. 1 Corinthians 2:9
Hi all!
What good have you been up to this week? I found it amazing that God asked us what we could be up to, and almost immediately opportunities presented themselves. Was that the case for you?
If you missed the message last week, check it out here.
Small Steps: What good can we do around here? — Peace (peaceotsego.org)
We’ve got one more small step to take as we follow Jesus. I hope you’ll join me this week as we see where God is at work among people who have questions, wonder, and seek his powerful presence in their lives.
I’m also looking forward to our new worship plan. We’re a few weeks out, so take this time to share with your friends.
We’re about 80% full at 9 am and 30% at 10:45. See you then!

Power of Praise: Summer services 2021
Beginning Sunday, May 30th, we’ll have the following summer 2021 worship life together and we’re raising funds for a new digital keyboard to offer live music!
We hope offering two services means everyone, including friends and neighbors, has plenty of chances to enjoy the gospel.
Two services each week
9:00 am indoors
10:30 am outdoors
Service notes
Both services will be the same as far as content and we’ll work for live music in both services.
Communion will be offered the 2nd and 4th services of the month. We’ll participate by continuous distribution and eat together in our seats.
We will try to live stream both services.
Fundraising for a digital keyboard
We’re raising $3,000 for a new digital keyboard. This keyboard will be used for live music for outdoor worship as well as provide needed support for worship indoors.

Mother’s Day 2021
Mothering is a concept filled with profound complications, but it is still beautiful - and worth honoring.
I look forward to consoling hurting mothers, celebrating serving mothers, and honoring dear women with you on Sunday May 9th.
Cleaning process update
We'd love to see everyone put some of their own physical time into the ministry of Peace, just as we all put our heart and our gifts into it.
One easy way to put our physical time into ministry is to keep the facility clean.
We have decided to update our cleaning practice. We're continuing to pay a service to clean the facility 2 times per month.
We're asking volunteers to clean just the entry area and bathrooms 2 times per month. We'll need to ...
take out trash
vacuum
clean toilets
clean sinks
replace toilet paper and towels
take out recycling
Please consider taking either the 1st or 3rd weekend of the month. You can find a signup sheet on the bulletin board at church.
Prayers (full prayer list)
Jim Walkley - recovery after a brief hospital visit
John Ward - at home trying to recover after burns and many medical complications
Students graduating from elementary, middle school, high school, and college
Other notes (more ministry items)
Christian Neighbors items for April are peanut butter and jelly
Ushers for May are Terry Brower and Dave Levett
Pastor could use some help installing some cabling and a network device at the pavilion for this year’s summer services. Please let him know if you can help.
