Dear friends of Jesus connected through Peace,

I see God at work in all kinds of roles or stations or vocations we occupy:

  • I see a sister encouraging and supporting her sister as she considers the gospel

  • I see a friend confronting her friend

  • I see a husband not quitting on his wife no matter her physical challenges

  • I see a sister in law rebuking her sister

  • I see a young man leading his fiance to Christianity and a Christian marriage

It’s all over the place. God works through us in our vocations or roles in life. Let’s keep this up!

  • July 27th - 1st Vocation: faith and prayer 1 Timothy 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHtrjtuIwVI

  • August 10th - “Vocation is the setting for God’s work in the world” - 1 Timothy 3, 5 https://youtu.be/JgAVSQQVz6o?si=GKT3IF-VJrIiMcWP

  • August 24th - “Vocation is also the setting for spiritual warfare” 1 Timothy 4th

  • August 31st - “Vocation is the setting for human flourishing. God provides us with purpose, freedom, security” - 1 Timothy 6:17-19

  • September 7th - Vocation: Conclusion

Please remember I’m deliberating another divine call - encouragements welcome.

In him,

Pastor T

PS See you inside at 9:30!

Special Collection for Headstone

Our brother in Christ, Don Knobloch, passed away in 2022. The family has been unable to procure a headstone to mark his burial for financial reasons. We’re going to take up a small collection for this headstone. If you’d like to donate, please give a cash or check marked “Don Knobloch” or give online with “Don Knobloch” in the comments.

Parking Lot Repair

We got the parking lot repaired this week. Thanks for your help.

Ministry planning and budget

We could use a lot more people to send some input for 2026 ministry. You don’t have to fill out every question on the form. https://peace.breezechms.com/form/bdad40 Or talk with pastor by email, text etc with suggestions, thoughts, questions, and ideas for ministry next year?

Love to talk with you about how God can work among us and through us these days!
