Hello friends of Jesus and Peace
Easter
I'm glad that we got to celebrate Easter together. More than 120 of us came together to stand in humble awe of the man who rose from the dead, to bask in the light of his glory, and to revere him as the highest King and Lord of everything. Thanks to Ellise for bringing her lamb and playing; to Helga for her music; to Eric Szczembara and Tom Wright for ushering; to all the lectors on Good Friday; to Cindy Hunt, Cindy Commissaris, Frieda Walkley, Joan Retberg, and many others for food; to the choir; to Clara Timmermann for running the slides; Eda McNees; Jeanne Myers for flowers and set up; the Wedge family; and to all of you for making the celebration wonderful.
We’re basking in Resurrection REALity for the next few weeks. We have many ways to become more alive. We didn’t gather in any new people over Easter. That’s something to do. We didn’t reconnect with people who attend only once or twice a year. We need to catch them. We let a few people do a lot of the work. Let’s become alive in the one who is really alive.
Christianity Explored
Did Easter raise some questions for you? Christianity Explored now runs every Thursday night to explore Jesus and his life with you. Bring a friend to discuss the most important questions of life! 6:30 pm.

Lawnmower coordinator
We’re looking for someone to help coordinate the lawn mowing around the church this summer. See here for a job description. https://peaceotsego.org/peacenews/2024lawnmowercoordinator. This is volunteer work and we hope it is clear enough that someone can succeed.
Road to Emmaus
We are having Movie Night on April 26th at 6:30pm! Come for a great movie, “The Road to Emmaus”, with pizza and popcorn. Then we will travel on that road with a cake walk game. Win wonderful goodies, and see the promises of our Lord. Invite your friends! Jesus has commissioned each of us to spread His word. Looking forward to getting together with you and those you invite to join us. We will be needing donations of cakes, cookies, and candies, etc. for the game. Please bring them on Friday the 26th.
Taste of Missions
Taste of Missions is back! Every year our affiliated seminary, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI. takes us on a tour of our worldwide missions. Join on-site in Mequon, WI OR online on Sat., June 15, 2024, to get a "taste of missions" no matter where you might be around the world. We're looking forward to a fun day of commissioning new missionaries in worship, trying ethnic bites, and family-friendly fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Find all the details at tasteofmissions.com.
