SUPPORTING PEACE

MINISTRIES

Thanksgiving in May, 2013 The Social Min-istry Team is once again hosting the “Thanksgiving in May” food drive! We will be collecting non-perishable food items, paper products, person hygiene items, etc., for our less fortunate neighbors in our community from May 5 – May 26. Please place your items on the table in the entryway of the church. The collected items will then be do-nated to the City Rescue Mission and Old Town Christian Outreach. Both organizations not only meet the physical needs by feeding the hungry in our community, but also the spiritual needs by presenting the Gospel mes-sage. Thank you so much for your continued support! Through your donations our Social Ministry has been blessed to be able to pro-vide help with utility bills, medical and rent assistance, and food and clothing for those in need this past winter. May God bless you for your faithfulness! Michigan’s Church Extension Fund Helps Build a Future: Building a solid future for our

Michigan District churches and schools is im-portant. Building a solid future for your family is important as well. Why not include the ministry of the Church Extension Fund (CEF) in your investment plan and accomplish both? When

you invest a portion of God’s blessings in CEF, you create a personal stewardship ministry, while providing loan opportunities for Michigan District organizations that want to build or ex-pand their facilities. Call Jerry Hensler at 792-9108 or visit www.mi-cef.org. Scrip is not available this Sunday, but will resume next Sunday.

SUNDAY NOTES

We will meet May 8 in the parlor. At 6:30pm, we'll present an overview of the teams (this is a repeat of the April 17 presentation in case you missed it). At 7:30pm, everyone interested in being on a team is invited to come and we'll break into initial teams. See the discipleship table in the gym for more info and check out the discipleship information on the Peace web site (go to 'forms,' then 'other forms', then 'discipleship').

Our ash trees along Adams Avenue must be removed. We plan to replace them in May with a mix of maples and ornamental pears. Would you like to sponsor a new tree? They can become a long-standing memorial to a loved one. Contact Mike Socier at the church office – 793.9025, extension 307.

School Notes

Summer Math, Language Arts, Spanish and Keyboarding Skills Sharpener Books: Order forms for the Summer Math Skills Sharp-ener program are available in the Peace School Office. The cost of each book is $20.00 and once ordered, they will be sent directly to your home. Available books are in the areas of Math, Language Arts, Spanish and Keyboard-ing. Sample books are in the office to review. Come in and take a look. We have been told that they are good for summer review and rein-forcement of skills. L.A.M.P. — GETTING CLOSER TO OUR GOAL BY THE DAY! As of Tuesday, we have raised $7,457.94! We have reached and now surpassed our mission goal of $6,000.00 for L.A.M.P. The exciting news is that each dollar that is raised will be matched by an anonymous donor. God is so good. The students of Peace are excited. They still have several more weeks to increase this amount even more, so that L.A.M.P. (Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots) will have funding to do even more ministry with the

children of Northern Canada. Thank you to everyone who has assisted in helping the stu-dents reach their goal! The annual meeting of the Valley Lutheran High School Association will be held at 7pm on Wednesday, May 15, in the high school re-source center. Valley Lutheran High School has an open-ing for a part-time teacher in one or more of the following areas: Spanish, French and Eng-lish. The ideal candidate will be a commis-sioned minister of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod certified to teach high school Spanish, French and/or English. Other appli-cants may be considered. Please mail (3560 McCarty, Saginaw 48603), fax (989-790-1680) or e-mail (jbrandt@vlhs.com) a resume’ with references and cover letter to Dr. John Brandt, Executive Director/Principal. For more infor-mation call Dr. Brandt at the school 989.790.1676.
