From the PastorFrom the Pastor’s Pen:

Amazingly, we are already heading into summer: going from three to two services per week, Sunday school & catechism on hiatus until September, our week at church camp June 22-27 at Stony Lake, VBS coming up August 10th-14th, vacations, weddings, graduation parties, and family get-togethers.  The excitement is building…

Soon we will begin our much-needed roofing and insulation project at Prince of Peace.  By the time you receive this, the bids will have been examined and one will be selected as the work will hopefully have begun in earnest.  Because of your generosity and commitment, which is especially appreciated in these difficult & uncertain economic times, we will be able to continue to preserve our worship space & carry on the ministry of the gospel for future generations.  For that, I as your pastor (and I’m sure on behalf of the Council) say a heartfelt THANKS!  The excitement is building…

As you have shared, I offer one additional challenge that I will be bringing to the Council at our June meeting.  The God Works!  Soup kitchen that serves meals in Monroe, Flat Rock, and Temperance has selected a western site for our county at St. John Lutheran Church of Dundee. They will begin serving once a week in June.  I will be asking the Council to be “on board” in supporting this ministry, but also I am asking our congregation as a whole to support it.  We will be asked to provide 5 meals a year, on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7 pm. Any group can help: our youth groups, WELCA, a Sunday school class, the Council, Dartball, etc.  Watch the weekly bulletins and future newsletters for details.

It is my hope and prayer that we will support this outreach to our community.  I recently heard that requests from food pantries and feeding sites have gone up 15-20% already this year in our part of the country.  So I am convinced that this is a ministry that we need to support.

The excitement is building…

See you in Church!

Peace,
Pastor Ted D. Kerr III
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church - Ida
