Dear friends of Jesus connected through Peace,

I remain thankful for Easter and our elebration of Christ’s victory over death.

That victory lasts.

Over the next few weeks, I want to practice explaining and defending the resurrection with you. We need to answer a number of questions:

  • Is Christianity legitimate or valid? Should we let Christianity stay around? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07ilpWCx7wk

  • Is Christianity good?

  • Why does God allow so much suffering, especially if Jesus has risen fom the dead?

  • Does Christianity take all the fun out of life?

Please come enjoy God’s Word and worship him with me Sundays at 9:30 am!

PS Want some great music from kids? Enjoy the piano recital at Peace next Sunday May 10th 2:00 pm

Work Day

Spring Work Day is Saturday May 3rd at Peace 9:30 - 12:00. Work day is a day for us all to show up and make the property ready for use.

Spring Work Day is different from the regular maintenance work. The maintenance work is a small group of guys who focus on technical tasks to keep the property running.

Work Day is a day for everyone to get the tasks done that take lots of time and energy.

Here are a few things we plan to do:

  • Deep cleaning - vacuum - lots of vacuuming! Please bring your vacuums.

  • Rake, pick up sticks, trim, trim trees, mow

Full list at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1agUMh-R0CRjbUj0WczAdkWVzoQtbKUn9K3uoYjBo8II/edit?tab=t.0

Plan to join us!

We’ll have donuts and coffee to keep everyone going!


Formal Wear for “Senior” Prom

Plainwell LifeCare Center is hosting a prom for its residents. They are looking for nicer attire that will fit senior adults.

They intend to clean the clothes and send them back; please be aware that there is always a risk.

If you have clothes you can lend, please consider doing so. I work with these adults regularly with Bible study, prayer, and worship. I would love to see them have a happy celebration.

Thank you!

Outdoor Services

Peace will offer and enjoy services in the great outdoors this summer.

Outdoor services will be at least the first and third Sundays of the month: June 1, June 15, July 6, July 20, August 4, August 18, and September 7.

Outdoor services will be weather dependent - if it is too hot, too cold, buggy, wet, etc, we’ll move inside!

Invite your friends to enjoy these wonderful services!

Friendship Sunday

We’re planning to connect with friends on Sunday August 3rd. We’ll have a little party together to build better relationships.

How are your friendships? Time to start working on them!

Grab a neighborhood map and start praying for the people around you - both physical and relational.
