New Things on Sunday
February 6
1-Communion returns to Peace worship next Sunday!
2-Encore is a space for middle schoolers and high schoolers to discuss and explore their faith and community. Starting next Sunday after worship, we will meet (in the Fellowship Hall) on the first and third Sunday of each month. We’re looking for meaningful ways to use our time together; one example is to connect with the watershed restoration group, Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO). Coffee, hot chocolate, and friends are welcome.
Equal Exchange is back at Peace!
Pam Jacobson is now coordinating the Equal Exchange program at Peace Church. The Coffee Shoppe in the Commons has been restocked! The popular Breakfast Blend is available, as are various chocolate bars, cocoa, and green tea. Talk to her if you have any special requests, such as flavored or decaf coffee, or other teas.
Mortgage refinancing update
We have received an official Letter of Condition from Interfaith Federal Credit Union. The loan is progressing normally, albeit delayed by staffing shortages due to COVID 19.
