Hello friends of Peace,
First, are we Bold Builders? If so, let’s obey. If you missed God’s Word this last week, check it out. Sermons — Peace (peaceotsego.org) This week God starts to lift our eyes to see the congregation he wants us to build. We actually spent a lot of time trying figure out what that would look like a few years ago. Check it out. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B-QHch7diWvm0g-ytcbMMvfcDKhgcxe2/view?usp=sharing What do you think? Does it look right? What did we miss?
