are provided Peace Church has been truly blessed by God! So, as the stewards of God’s gifts, we pray that many of our church family will join together Saturday morn-ing, October 8

th, to help clean, fix

up, and paint our church home. The main targets this year are

the sanctuary, Sunday school rooms, and outdoor land-scape beds. Bring your favor-ite rags and buckets--cleansers will be provided. Please set the morning of Oc-tober 8

th aside to fellowship

with your church family and care for the gifts God has be-stowed upon us. -The Stewardship Ministry NOTE: For those who are busy on October 8

th, you may sign up

to come during that week (October 3 – 7). Just pick a task off the lists that are posted on the bulletin boards (put your last name beside your choice) and call Rick Rickrich: home 740-756-4283, cell 614-732-1233, or call Leslie in the church of-fice (614-837-6689) to open the church.

Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confi-dent and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fa-

therhood.

While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they're quickly discovering that their

standard is missing the mark.

When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their father-ing. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and

to their children?

Honor Begins at Home.

boy or a girl, and the child’s age category:

category on the label, available in back of

church, and tape the label to the top of

your box.

TOYS

breakable items such as snowglobes or glass containers; aerosol cans 4. INCLUDE YOUR DONATION

Please donate $7 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs.
