Hello friends of Peace,
What a wonderful Easter! Thanks for celebrating with me. We got to see many old friends and make some new ones. We feasted (in our own way!) And we ran through bubbles. Could the day get any better?
Oh, wait. Jesus lives. And if he lives, that changes everything for us.
Thanks for being part of Easter with all of us. Thank you for honoring the risen Lord. Thank you for declaring God’s work. Don’t give up.
Congregational Lunch
We’ll have a congregational lunch on May 21st at 11:00 am (after service). Bring a dish to pass and let’s give thanks for a great year.

Basic Faith for Middle School Students
How do learn faith? How do we gain hearts that believe what is a good and true, and lives that live what is good and true?
Our answer is catechism - a special class designed for middle school students.
After our children receive education from preschool to 5th grade, middle school students (grades 6-8) receive the next level of instruction in catechism class. Catechism class systematically instructs students in the basic teachings of the Christian faith. Catechism doesn’t teach Bible stories; it teaches doctrine so we can gain the mind of Christ.
If you’re a 6-8th grade student now or in the fall of 2023, I hope you’ll join me for this class. I love spending time with you and helping you learn to follow Jesus.
If you are a parent of a 5th grader, please contact me so that I can get your student registered for the class. Call or text 269-694-6104.
Our 2023 group will start June 4th at 10:45 am!
