Hello friends of Peace,

What makes for a good life? We’ve heard a number of key ideas already this summer.

  1. Relationships are essential to well - being and happiness. https://youtu.be/ulJBL_Ek3wI

  2. Relationships are central (not the only thing, but at the center) in the growth process of life.”

  3. The frequency and the quality of our contact with other people are two major predictors of happiness. (social fitness)

  4. Attention is the essential asset/resource/material of happiness. It must be managed.

This week we’re going to take the next key idea. It addresses the challenges and struggles of life. How do we handle the challenges of life? This week we’ll take a look at Esther, Paul’s instruction to the Galatians in chapter 6, and part of the sermon on the mount as we hear what God has to say. Hint! Relationships matters in the challenges, too!

Can’t wait to see you and enjoy God’s Word with you!

Outdoor service rescheduled

Ramp install

We were fortunate to enable another gentleman to get out for doctors’ appointments, family visits, grocery trips, and God willing chances to gather with God's people and hear the gospel.

We’ve got 4 ramps out right now, helping people do life and enjoy this free grace.

Many thanks to Jon, Les, and Steve!

Fall ministry

Here is what our ministry looked like last fall. I’m excited for 2023. What do you want to do? How can we bring people the gospel this fall?

Let’s find ways to bring the gospel to our city! Talk to pastor and give some suggestions today.
