“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15

As we move into the month of April, these words remind us that Christ’s peace is not only a comfort but also a calling. When we allow His peace to shape our hearts, gratitude naturally follows. In every circumstance—joyful or challenging—we are invited to practice thankfulness, recognizing that God’s hand is present in all things. A thankful heart unites us as one body in Christ, nurturing harmony and strengthening the bonds of our faith community.

With that spirit of gratitude, we extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who came and participated in our Holy Week services and to all who worked to make them so meaningful. Your time, prayers, and dedication brought the story of Christ’s love to life in our church. A special word of appreciation goes out to Pastor Brigette Weier for her faithful leadership, inspiring messages, and tireless service throughout this sacred season. May the peace and gratitude of Christ continue to dwell richly among us as we journey forward together.
Blessings,

Kelli Wendlandt,
​Council President
