Children’s Bible HourSunday mornings

for ages 2 to 1st Grade!2-year olds will meet in the 2’s classroom. Teacher: Jesse Davis and Denise Dillingham. **Bible Hour for ages 3-6 will meet in the classrooms. Teachers for May: Shannon Murphy, Lindsey Ward and Tami Heffington. Nursery Attendants: Erin Johnson and Lindsey Ward.

Today we exult the Prince of Peace who has taught us about and brought true peace into our lives. As we continue to grow and add people may we be aware that it adds to potential conflict and may we side-step that and love each other deeply. There is plenty of drama in this old sin-sick world. We see it in the politics of our day, in multiple social media posts, we hear it on the news and at places of work, we fear it in our children’s schools and in other public spaces. May we ever be a people of peace and this be a place of peace. May we seek peace where others would be lazy and allow for conflict. May we be known as people of peace at our place of work and in our subdivisions and HOA’s. Where strife is prevalent, as much as possible, may we be different. May we learn to stand for right and truth w i t h o u t b e i n g p e o p l e w h o unnecessarily agitate. May we learn

to control both our temper and our tongue. And, may you, and all of us, be recipients of the blessings of being peacemakers instead of peace-breakers. I hope you have a super week. I’m glad you are here!!!
