My righteousness draws near, my salvation has gone out,

and my arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands hope

for me, and for my arm they wait. Is. 51:5

Dear Children of God,

This month we will briefly consider the prophetIsaiah, whose name means The Lord is Salvation. In-deed, that was the message that Isaiah proclaimed. But itwas not the type of salvation that the people of Israel ex-pected. For Isaiah directed them away from themselves,their wealth, their military might or any other means thatthey might use to accomplish their own salvation, and in-

stead directed them toward the coming Messiah.We are familiar with some of Isaiahs Messianic

Prophecies such as the Christmas prophecy found in 7:14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold

the virgin shall conceive and bear son, and shall call his

name Immanuel. Another is the Suffering Servant

prophecy of Isaiah 53. But there are other salvationprophecies that may not be quite as familiar, but whichnonetheless direct the hearer to Jesus. One prime exampleof this is the OT lesson for the Fourteenth Sunday afterPentecost from Is. 35:4-7. Take time to read these versesand consider the following questions:

Continued from page 3

In what way does the Messiah, Jesus Christ, comewith vengeance? (See John 5:22)

When did Jesus fulfill the prophecy of opening theeyes of the blind and ears of the deaf? (Mark 7:31-37 isthe Gospel lesson for the Fourteenth Sunday, and pro-vides one example).

In what ways do waters break forth in the wilder-ness?

What is the highway of holiness?

How has the Messiah, Jesus, done this for you?

Certainly there is a temporal fulfillment of many ofIsaiahs prophecies which occurred during the life of Je-sus. But there is also a fulfillment that occurs on the LastDay at the Second Coming of Jesus. Such is the casewith the OT lesson for the Last Sunday of the ChurchYear (Nov. 22) from Is. 51:4-6. Though the heavens andearth will be destroyed, the Lords salvation will last for-ever.

Though reading through the prophecy of Isaiah canat times be disconcerting, his is a message of hope andsalvation in the Messiah. A hope that we have seen re-

vealed in Jesus Christ. May you be filled with this hopeas you live for Him now, and eagerly wait to live withHim in heaven.

Peace be with you,

pastor

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As I begin my time here at Peace With Christ, I

thought I would introduce myself a bit to those ofyou whom I havent met yet. My name is ReenaLinke, and I am the sister of Lydia, who has beenattending PWC while a student at Colorado StateUniversity. I was born in Fargo, ND, and grew upnear Kokomo, IN, but Bismarck, ND, where my ex-

tended family lives and my parents grew up, feelslike home. I graduated from Concordia, St. Paul in2006, majoring in church music and minoring inConfessional Lutheranism, receiving certification asa Director of Parish Music, as well. This past May,I received my Master of Sacred Music diplomafrom Boston University.

Here at Peace With Christ Ill be serving as the Par-ish Worker, which means that Ill be doing a varietyof tasks. I will be assisting with Sunday School andFED nights, leading and teaching the richness of thefaith to our young people through Scripture, hym-

nody, and music. Ill also be leading the collegegroup, hopefully collaborating with Pastor Zill inLaramie and Pastor Burhop in Boulder. My otherresponsibilities include developing some fellowshipopportunities and resources for young families, as-sisting Pastor with visits to shut-ins and nursinghomes, and other duties as needed.

On a personal note, I enjoy such things as running,knitting and crocheting, camping, road trips, thriftstores, theology, potlucks, laughing with my sisters,

and traveling. I listen to all sorts of music, but Ireally love the golden oldies. I also really enjoytrying new foods and have started a mini-garden onmy porch.

My welcome here has been so gracious, and yourkindness to me during this transition has been sucha blessing! Please introduce yourself if I haventhad a chance to meet you yet, and feel free to let meknow how I can better serve you. As we come to-gether and welcome other new people after beingaway for the summer, may our tasks as a congrega-tion and schedules as individuals be guided and

strengthened by the task God has already accom-plished. As Fred Pratt Green writes in his hymn,How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord,

In what You give us, Lord, to do,Together or alone,In old routines or ventures new,May we not cease to look to You,The cross You hung uponAll You endeavored done.

In Christ,Reena

nificant books when it comes to the topic of Justification by

Grace through faith. Following Galatians, we will look at ei-

ther Philippians or Colossians.

Wednesday MorningThis is a terrific mid-week worship and

study time. Matins or Morning Prayer begins at 8:45 with astudy of The Minor Prophets following, the study is always over

taxis, games, airports, worship, buses, Sonic, faith, servingothers, fun, Sunday School, camps, and bowling! Wow -what a busy summer here at PWC! There were manyopportunities to be involved and there are many moreactivities coming this fall.

We are blessed to have the ability to be able to provide somany varied activities for our youth members to be involved

in. In speaking with other youth leaders this summer, Irealized that we have a very active group here. Due to thesupport of the congregation through the budget andfundraising, we are able to offer our youth members moreopportunities than other churches of a similar size. As theschool year begins and everyones schedule fills youthactivities will be slowing down but will remain active andoffer a variety of activities

I encourage all our youth members to attend worshipservice on Sunday mornings or Vespers on Monday evening.Bible Study will be offered on Sunday mornings andWednesday evening - plan to attend one or both! Youthmusicians and vocalist are encouraged to participate inworship services. Youth Readers for the third Sunday

and nursery attendants are always needed.

Hope to see you at one or more of these this fall: worship,Bible Study, Olympics II, Surprise outings, football games,softball games, corn mazes, bonfires and other fun events!

Have a peace-filled and blessed month,

KNOW YOUR LEADERSHIP

Eric Petago, Education Chairman

I was born in Bainbridge, Maryland to Max and Clarice

Petago. My father was in the Navy, so we did not stay

in one place for long. We moved from Maryland to Con-neticut and then to Vallejo, California in the first four

years of my life. After 17 years in the Navy my father

decided to retire and we settled on a farm in DeKalb,

Ilinois. My brother and two sisters were born in DeKalb

and we lived there until 1969. My father accepted a job

with CSU and we made the move to Ft. Collins. I was

eight years old and attended Putnam elementary. I went

on to Blevins Jr. High and Rocky Mountain High School

and then earned a B.S. degree in Environmental Geol-

ogy, at CSU. When I attended Rocky Mountain High

School, you could look to the south and west and there

were no houses, only the little church (PWC) and open

space.

Since high school I worked in the HVAC field for 15

years. I was self-employed while earning my degree

and then worked for Delta Environmental Consulting,

as a staff Geologist. In 2003, I began working for my-

self and having been doing so to the present.

I met my wife in 1982. Marcy was a senior at Poudre

High School and we were married in 1988. We have

three beautiful daughters. Katie was born in 1995,

Krissy in 1997 and Karly in 2004. I have been very

blessed to have had such a loving, devoted wife for 21

years and three healthy children.

I was raised in the Mormon church until 1976, when my

parents divorced and we became inactive. I did not at-

tend church until I married Marcy, who was raised

Catholic. I attended church with Marcy sometimes and

we visited a few non-denominational churches, but it

never felt right for us. However, I knew that I needed

God in my life and He led us to St. Johns Lutheran,

where our best friend Amy Hoy attended regularly. One

year later I was baptized with my daughters Katie &

Krissy. I taught Sunday School for three years at St.Johns and really enjoyed it. In 2006, we transferred to

PWC where I continued to teach Sunday School and am

currently serving as the Board of Education Chairman.

Again, I have been blessed to have had the opportunity

to serve in Gods Church. Moreover, I have seen how

God has blessed my family since we became members of

His church. I can honestly say...it feels right.

Make a Joyful Noise

Adult choir will begin rehearsals at 7pm onWednesday, Sept. 9, which is the first FEDnight. Stay after the Bible study to singwith us! We will be singing for Sunday ser-vices about once a month, and we wouldlove to have everyone join us, regardless ofexperience. Look for the sign-up sheet inthe Narthex. See you Sept. 9!
