Hi all!

This last weekend I let the church know that I’ve returned the recent call and will stay at Peace. I shared this letter with them.

Dear fellow followers of our risen Lord,

Thank you for calling me to serve our Lord and you at St Paul’s Lutheran Church. I have been glad to hear about all the great gospel ministry taking place. I consider it an honor to have been invited to be part of your work.

I have decided to stay in Otsego for now. I am returning this call to you and joining you in prayer for the future of your ministry. I pray that God gives you a shepherd or another way to keep doing his work, because he has definitely given you plenty of opportunities!

My work at Peace continues to call me to repentance and trust in our Lord. As a pastor, I can hardly imagine anything better. To go first in following the true Shepherd’s voice in all of life's challenges and opportunities, to declare his glory and invite others to do the same … this is good.

God be with you,

Pastor Nathaniel Timmermann and family

Look forward to hearing God’s Word with you on Sunday at 9:00 am or 10:30.

Sincerely

Pastor T

Open Forum and Voters' Meeting

Peace uses two business meetings to set the direction of the congregation for the upcoming calendar year.

The first is an open forum. At the open forum, the elders and council request feedback on future initiatives. All are welcome to provide feedback and make inquiries/suggestions.

At the voters' meeting, voting members are asked to conduct the business of the congregation.

Schedule

Open forum will take place on October 17th @ 11:45 am

Voters' meeting on October 24th @ 11:45 am

How to participate online

Since the voters' meeting is a legal gathering and requires two-way participation, we will not host it on Facebook, Youtube, etc. It will be on our phone provider's system.

You can participate on the computer (with a microphone and speakers) by clicking on this link. https://v.ringcentral.com/join/273136645 You may need to install an application the first time, so try it before the meeting time. All laptops should have the necessary hardware.

Christmas Volunteers

With 75 degrees weather, it feels too early to be thinking about Christmas and we know schedules become busier the closer we get. We would like to start forming volunteer teams now for our different Christmas activities and services like decorating, the Hometown parade, and Christmas services. Please touch base with pastor!
