Stewardship Workshop: July 7 from 6pm-9pm at IHOP between Fairmont and Vista off of Beltway 8
Come, join others as we get excited about inspiring generosity for the work of the kingdom at Peace. We will be meeting at IHOP for dinner and discussion about ideas for promoting the joyful and peaceful stewardship lifestyle. This fall we will be educating our community about the abundance of God that he gives to us out of his divine mercy. We are a wealthy congregation and we have more money and time and abilities than we can ever use. Our only challenge is to let go of our fears of not having enough so that we can joyfully share the blessings of God. Come and join us. We would love to have your ideas and thoughts. You can also join by participating in our online Google Group. http://groups.google.com/group/peace-stewardship
4th of July One Service at 11:00am, NO Sunday School
This year the 4th of July falls on a Sunday. We will have one service at 11:00am with no Sunday School. The afternoon festival has been moved to the 3rd (see article).
July 4th Festival Moved to July 3rd at 4:30 Due to Fireworks Show
Pasadena will be displaying fireworks on the 3rd and not the 4th this year so we have moved our festival to Saturday. We have water games, (including a slide), board games, a cake walk, karaoke, washers, horseshoes, volleyball and other activities planned. We will have hot dogs, bar-be-que sandwiches, snacks, drinks and ice cream. We will conclude by watching the fireworks from the Peace Parking lot or second floor of our education building. Please call the church office or sign up in the narthex. We also are asking people to bring cakes for the cake walk or a dessert, and sign up to help with different tasks. We are also going to have a "most tasty desert contest". We are going to have a great time and look forward to this fun event.

From the Youth Director
I hope all is going well as I help lead a leadership track at our synod event Disciple Project in Seguin, Texas. I will be back on Friday morning. I just wanted to remind everyone about the student and parent information packets. This is to help me update my records here at the office and get an idea of who you are! So please complete these and turn them in no later than July 15th so that I can have time to read them before the summer comes to a close and we begin our ministry in the fall!
Also for those that are in confirmation, we are going to begin our confirmation program on August 15th where Pastor David and I will host our confirmation orientation. With this in mind, I have sent out a confirmation letter with our schedule of confirmation dates.
If you did not get a copy of the student profile, parent profile, or confirmation letter and schedule please let me know and I will get you a copy!
God Bless,

Tuesday Peace Family Night
I have placed a sign up sheet on our youth bulletin board for families to sign up what day and time you would like to schedule a meal together where we can bond together as Brothers and Sisters in Christ. However you do have the choice to deny the invitation. This can be a home meal or out to eat, I will leave that up to you. By the time after our Fourth of July celebration, I will begin calling our families here and schedule a time that we can spend this time together. I look forward to meeting everyone in our community.
Sr. High Church Lock-In
This is an event you do not want to miss! For us to build community together, why not live together for four days and 3 nights!

All days will be spent at Peace, but we will be going out into our community doing ministry. On the last day we will spend the day at Schlitterbahn Water Park in Galveston. If you are able to only come to one night, its okay, you can come for that night! Right now we are in the stages of developing this events and I am looking for people who would like to be a part of this event. So be ready for more information as the summer goes!
