Pastor’s Corner
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Ernest Warburton Shurtleff graduated from Andover
Theological Seminary. 'Lead on, O King Eternal' was
written for the Andover graduation ceremonies..." (From
Hymnal Companion of the Lutheran Book of Worship.)
This hymn has closed worship for every congregation I
have served on the last weekend that I was their
pastor. It has a military sounding tune, but it has
sustained me and encouraged me in grace and faith as
was its intention, per the citation above.
Jeremy chose that hymn, I am sure, because he knows
how much it means to me and I am grateful.
In fact, that's really what I want to say in this last
"Pastor's Corner."
I am really, REALLY grateful.
Prince of Peace has a stellar staff and a strong Council,
both leading an extremely healthy church.
To ALL of you, thank you. It has been my pleasure to
serve with you.
Your notes and words and gifts (including one that came
anonymously on Pastor's Appreciation Sunday) are joyfully
received. Thank you for sharing them.
What's next? I leave Friday morning, November 1, for
Burlington, Iowa where I will preach for my "job" from
which I took a leave of absence, Food for the Poor
(foodforthepoor.org) Then on Monday I will be home in
Houston, prepared to do my weekday work of assisting at
a local funeral home. In the spring, I will be doing a
capital campaign for a church in Tucson, Arizona.
So things keep moving...and I am grateful...to you, and
especially to the 3-in-1 God who loves us so very much.
Remember GIGATT and ATTGIG.
"Lead on, O God of might!"
Love y'all,
Rick Hartmann, Interim Pastor for a few more hours...

October 2019
Dear Members of Prince of Peace,
Our collective response to the love and grace we’ve been shown in Christ Jesus has resulted in the vitality and a real
sense of mission at Prince of Peace. As we plan and look forward to 2020, we have an opportunity to further expand
the mission we all share. Our congregation consistently demonstrates the power of strong faith and shared love.
To continually press forward, we are conducting the “God’s 20/20 Vision” stewardship program for financial and partici-
pation support in 2020. We need your involvement and commitment to enable us to continue to expand the mission
programs of the congregation.
“God’s 20/20 Vision” stewardship program will kick off this week with the distribution of “God’s 20/20 Vision” packet
for each family or person. The packets will be available at church for the next few weeks.
Make a point of picking your stewardship packet up while at church for worship or anytime.
The information in the packet should is self-explanatory. However, if you have questions you can contact Jim Hoyt at
[email protected] or 614.917.3493.
We are asking that the 2020 Estimate of Giving cards be returned via the offering on
Christ the King weekend, which is November 23 and 24. Cards can be returned earlier to the church office as well.
Thank you of your support of Prince of Peace and the mission we all share.
With thanksgiving,
Jim Hoyt, Andy Prakel
Brian Ostarchvic Council President
Stewardship Committee

The Benefits of Journaling
It is widely known that writing can be an important from of
self-reflection and spiritual therapy. Writing about one’s
thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic.
One of the main benefits of emotional expression is that it can
release pent-up emotional energy, and this can have positive
health effects for the writer. Keeping a journal can be a
mechanism for coping with daily frustrations and challenges.
Health Benefits
There is increasing evidence to support the notion that
journaling has a positive impact on physical well-being.
University of Texas at Austin psychologist and researcher James Pennebaker contends that regular journaling
strengthens immune cells. Pennebaker believes that writing about stressful events helps you come to terms with them,
thus reducing the impact of these stressors on your physical health.
Begin journaling and experience these benefits:
• Clarify thoughts and feelings. If you seem all jumbled up inside and unsure of what you want or feel, take a few
minutes to jot down your thoughts and emotions. It can bring you in touch with your inner self.
• Discover yourself. Write routinely, and you will get to know what makes you feel happy and confident. Writing will
help you see more clearly the situations and people who have a negative effect on you. These realizations are
beneficial to restoring emotional wellbeing.
• Reduce stress. Write about negative feelings, such as anger, sadness or other painful emotions. Writing may help
to release the intensity of these feelings. The goal is to free your mind of past hurts and to feel calmer and better
able to live in the present.
In addition to all of these wonderful benefits, keeping a journal allows you to track patterns, trends and improvements
over time. When current circumstances appear insurmountable, you will be able to look back on your writing and see
where you have made progress.
How to Begin
• Journaling will be most effective if you do it daily for about 20 minutes.
• Find a quiet place and relax. Spelling and punctuation are optional.
• Write quickly, as this frees your brain from the notion of an end goal for your writing.
• If it helps, pick a theme for the day or week, such as peace of mind, change or frustration.
The most important idea is that there are no rules.
• You may discover how your journal is an all-accepting, nonjudgmental tool for spiritual renewal and physical
wellbeing.

Prince of Peace Youth Direct KIVA Microloans to Worthwhile Small Businesses
Confirmation students had the wonderful opportunity to put their faith to good use during their recent classes. The
Global Missions group added $1000 to the Prince of Peace Youth Group KIVA account. Those funds are administered
solely by our middle and high school students.
During Confirmation class, the students learned about KIVA microloans and then divided into groups to make some
tough decisions…..Who needs the loans the most? How can our money be put to good use? How can we make a
difference in the life of someone we will probably never meet?
Here are some of the results of their decisions….and some pictures of the
process in action!
For more information on KIVA microloans and how YOU can start your own
basket, please check out www.kiva.org.
