The Life and Work of Paul by Rodney Peters

paul

The Reverend Rodney Peters faithfully served the church of Jesus Christ as a pastor for many years. Some of those years were spent as an associate pastor at Grace Presbyterian. Rodney died in 2018 having written but not completely finished a book. The book is The Life and Work of Paul: A Study Guide. His wife Sandy was compelled to finish the formatting and have it published. She shared a copy with Grace.

The book is available online including through Westbow Press here >

In addition, the church has a copy you may borrow.

  • Comfortable clothes
  • Yoga mat (I will bring some extra mats for those who do not have one.)
  • Chairs are provided for those who cannot get up and down off of the  floor.
  • A beach towel or blanket

Mission Distribution Team Wants To Hear From You!

We continue to be grateful for the financial gift left to the Grace Mission Distribution Team by the Lois Fisher estate.  Earlier in the year we updated you on how the team shared half of the gift.  You may read about that here >

As the team continues to share this gift, we want to hear from you. The team set aside up to $15,000 to share based on ideas from the congregation.  If you have an idea of how the money should be shared, please email Catherine Neelly Burton catherine@mygpc.org or Shelley Duncan ShelleyDuncan@cphcp.com

The parameters for your ideas are that the gifts need to fall within the same categories we designated on the previous round of gifts.  These are based on Lois’ passions and are: Medical, Children, Mental Health, Music, and Missionaries.

Please submit your ideas (where we should give) and the amount you would like for us to give by September 10.

We look forward to hearing from you!
