Pastor Call
Notes A letter from Pastor Brian Dunlop
dated March 16th was read to the congregation on Sunday. In
part the letter read
“After serious and prolonged
consideration, I have decided to decline the call. Please know that this
decision has been reached through much thought, discussion and prayer to our
gracious God with the comforting presence of His Holy Spirit. Thank you for
your patience over the past four weeks to allow me time to consider your needs
and the continuing needs here in Desboro.”
Pastor Dunlop will continue to serve his
congregation of Faith Lutheran Church in Desboro. We wish to thank him for his
consideration of our Call to him and wish him God’s blessings in his future
service to the members of Faith. A new Call meeting will be arranged and
details forwarded as soon as they are available.
Lenten Season There will be no mid-week Lenten services at POP this year. We encourage members to consider attending Lenten services at our sister congregations of Pilgrim in Hamilton, Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm, Christ our King in Mississauga, Wednesday evenings at 7:30 pm. The dual parish of Our Saviour in Grimsby and Redeemer in Hamilton will also have services on a weekly rotating basis beginning with Ash Wednesday service at Our Saviour, also at 7:00 pm.
Men’s Street Ministry meets face-to-face with the homeless and less fortunate in downtown Hamilton, distributing soup, sandwiches, snacks, beverages and clothing to those in need, and showing God’s love to those they meet along the way. They need donations of Clothing: hoodies, coats, sweatpants, socks, underwear, belts, running shoes, boots, and rain gear. Bedding: sleeping bags, blankets. A box will be in the coat room for your kind donations. Bath towels and face cloths are needed at this time.
Seminary Food Drive – Twice a year Prince of Peace members support the Seminary students by filling their Food Pantry. All donations are appreciated. A collection bin can be found at the top of the stairs at the back entrance to the church.
Save the date – On Saturday, May 25th, the youth will be hosting another Spaghetti Dinner and Baked Goods Auction. This will be the final fundraiser before they head off to BC for the National Youth Gathering in July. More details will come as we get closer to the event.
In your prayers, please remember those in hospital, and all of our elderly and shut-in friends and family as they contend with the challenges of poor health.
