Hello friends of Peace,
First, Sunday service. Friends, it is time to consider our ways. Let’s rebuild God’s house! We started last week with the message Be bold builders! — Peace (peaceotsego.org) Watch it at the link if you missed it. Last week we saw what we are supposed to do. This week, let’s see who we can be. Service outline 2022-09-18 service - Google Docs
If you didn’t get to add a Lego, be sure to do so this week.
Second, service streaming. Good job to those who joined on the private platform this last weekend. Thanks for joining us. Again, the easiest way to join is to get on our website…

Thank you!
