Questions for the WeekWhat did the Psalmist mean by his words:  "I have set the Lord always before me"? (Ps. 16:8)   Is there a contradiction in Paul's going to Jerusalem "compelled by the Spirit (Acts 20:22) and the warning of Agabus (21:10) and the pleading of his friends not to go (21:12)?

Christian Education Director Peace is in need of a person with a passion for our Lord and children.  Our education programs are very important to the preparation of our young people to be servants of Christ.  Please pray about this and if it is not for you maybe it is for someone you know.  Lets get excited about who this new person may be and the new opportunities for ministry.  For additional information or interest contact Pastor Bob (712-253-0816 or pastorbob@peacereformed.org).  A job description is posted on our web site at www.peacereformed.org.

Summer Mission Trip  for all High School Youth and Parents as well as College students for this summer is set for July 25-31 in Chicago to work with the Center for Student Missions. 

PEACE GARDEN   The Garden is in need of some more stakes to stake the tomato plants with, so if you have any you are willing to part with, please contact Shawna at 560.5895.  Also, we are looking at finding a roto-tiller to use in the garden to help us catch up on some of the abundance of weed growth.  If anyone is willing to let us use this equipment to help in the Garden, it would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!  Shawna Vander Plaats

Remember many of our future neighbors and families of the Mentees in the GoodGuides program will benefit. You will also be able to enjoy the fresh fruit and veggies.  Thanks for all the support and continued prayers for this project.
