Hello friends of Jesus and Peace

Confirmation this week

I'm excited for our Sunday gathering this week. Lillianne Larson plans to publicly profess faith in Jesus as her Savior and Lord. We the people of Peace will get to confirm that she has heard God's Word and that she has received the gift of faith and the Holy Spirit. I'm excited to publicly welcome Lillianne! After the service, we'll gather for cake!

I invite you to bring Lillianne a card or another token of encouragement to remember this day.

See you Sunday at 9:30!

Read through God’s Word before you come, Acts 20:28-32, 1 John 4:1-6, and John 10:11-18.

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.

The idea that there is one God is called ___________.

True or False: Faith saves.

How did you do on our little quiz?

Christians have a rich history of amazing teaching from Jesus and the apostles that help us think about better about life. This summer, I’m going to offer three quick classes to take your understand of Christian theology or doctrine to the next level.

These summer classes are planned for busy young adults and adults who know the basics of the Christian faith and want to take their understanding to the next level. Please be sure to go through a basic instruction course such as catechism first.

Class dates are June 15, July 20, and August 17. Class will run from 9:30 to 12:00. Childcare can be available.

You should obtain either Grace Abounds https://online.nph.net/grace-abounds.html by Daniel Deutschlander or God So Loved the World https://online.nph.net/god-so-loved-the-world.html by Lyle Lange before the class begins. If you need help with that, please contact Pastor.

Look forward to studying with you!
Outdoor services

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

Outdoor services will be at least the first Sunday of the month: June 2, July 7, August 4, and September 1. We’re looking to add more services on the third Sunday of the month.

Invite your friends to enjoy these wonderful services!

Youth Rally offering

June 25-28 students from all over the United States will gather in CO for worship, Bible study, discipleship, prayer, encouragement, and fun. More than 2,000 high school students are expected to come and celebrate God’s amazing mountaintop messages together.

Peace has a few students who would like to go, and we’d like to encourage and support them. The council has decided to take a door offering for them. You’re invited to give an offering so they can travel. The entire trip costs almost $1000 per students.

May God bless these students with true faith and love for him and others.
