"Sharing God's love by serving our community and our world."
Don’t Forget!
All Volunteer PEP RALLY
Saturday, August 12 — 9:00 am
...all volunteers meet at Peace Lutheran to get instructions and prayer.
Glorious Summer Greetings!
The second annual “Welcome Neighbor Corn Feed” is just around the corner. I invite you to read through the many opportunities to serve. Of course it wouldn’t be happening at all if it weren’t for people like you supporting this community outreach event. “It’s Not Just About the Corn!”
We need your help...we really do! In the coming two weeks, we will be sharing thousands of invitations both personal, in the mail and in the newspaper. Since this is our first community corn feed, we’re not sure what to expect for attendance. Our expectation is that God will bless those invitations and many will come for this community outreach event.
Stay Cool! Thanks again!
Pastor David
Is it hot enough for you?
Here are some HOT! Opportunities
COOLERS!
Can we borrow your big camping cooler/ice chest? Bring it to the church Saturday morning,
August 7 and be sure to put your name on it!
HOMEMADE ICE
Begin today freezing water in plastic gallon milk jugs or gallon ice cream buckets. Bring them to church Saturday, August 7 at 10:00 am.
CANOPIES
Do you have a canopy that we can borrow for the day? Bring it to the
church Saturday morning, August 7 and be sure to put your name on it!
Prayers and Advertising
Three Invitation CHALLENGE
Think of three people you know who don’t have a church home. Maybe someone who’s new in your neighborhood would like to come. Maybe someone you know who’s hurting or had a loss would like to meet others. Most people will say yes if someone asks. Make a special effort to invite them to the Welcome Neighbor Corn Feed.
Many ways to share in this outreach event...even if you’re gone that weekend!
Outreach PRAYERS
Begin praying with others for God’s guidance and blessing of our invitation to others. Join the Corn Feed Prayer Team and assist the min praying before and throughout the team.

We have yard signs. Sign up to receive your very attractive yard sign and place it in your yard. Remember to return the sign after the corn feed.
