How Do We Handle Our Worries? 

On Sunday May 25th, 9am, Peace will gather for worship.  This is the first Sunday with the 9am worship time.  The

Gospel for that day is from Matthew 6 where Jesus teaches his followers about the uselessness of worry.  For the sermon that day we would like to tell stories about worry, and how it doesn’t do any good when compared to faith in Christ.  Do you have a story to tell?  Would you be willing to tell it?  If so, let Pastor Ron know.  We can encourage one another when we share our stories and how God has led us through life.
