![]() So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:10 This is a month of great opportunities! First, we are quickly coming upon the opportunity to be able to participate in something people in other nations only dream about - the opportunity to vote for the people we want to lead our country, state, and city, and to vote for issues that directly affect us as we live our lives in this great country. Yet, how are we to vote? How much (or little) do we allow our Christian faith to affect our votes? How should our personal preference and benefit interact with our personal faith during this election season? This month Vicar Joel and I will lead the congregation in a Bible study “Vote Like a Christian” which explores God’s Word to help guide us as we seek to fulfill our Christian vocation as citizens of this great country. This study will be held on Sunday, October 6th, 13th, and 27th, at 10:30 in the Fellowship Hall. I strongly encourage ALL voting adults (and Middle and High School youth) to join us in this study. And no, we will NOT tell you how to vote, but how to think like a Christian when you do vote. And yes, questions and discussion are encouraged! Another opportunity we have this month is to participate in the parish planning study as we examine if we want to participate in the renovation project and capital campaign, and what that might look like. The final report will be presented to the leadership on October 16th, with a presentation to the board on October 20th after service in the Fellowship Hall. Once again, we encourage you all to attend this meeting to hear first hand the results of the report and recommendation of the church board! These are beyond the regular opportunities we have to receive God’s gifts in worship, to study His word at Refuel and Connect Groups, to do good through our mission gifts and support, and to serve in many different ways here at Peace and in our community! Take advantage of these opportunities to be a part of Peace this month! In His Peace, Pastor Cory
