Peaceful Assembly Church

Rushed a flier together for outreach and have handed them out at a few events. It will be tweaked over time – starting soon. It looks much better all laid out nicely, but for now here is the text:

Peaceful Assembly Church
(Organized in Grafton, NH and Serving in the Upper Valley and beyond since 2010.)
We don't claim to have all the answers.
We are not trying to “convert” anyone.
We are open to all Peaceful people.
We want to learn from each other.

Hello friend,

Peaceful Assembly Church is having a charity-event-day tomorrow. This is our facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/messages/?action=read#!/event.php?eid=254525737922383 ...and the info:

Here in Grafton, a very nice guy who is a friendly and welcoming neighbor lost his entire auto mechanic/body shop garage to a fire on Monday afternoon. Thankfully no one was hurt! From all I can tell, Jeremy Digby is an honest and competent auto mechanic and bodywork guy. The entire building is gone. This is his livelihood.

AWESOME day at Peaceful Assembly Church: Successful 4th Annual Grafton Apple Festival was preceded by regular Sunday service which developed into spirited discussion about which to defend if given only two options - Life or Morality... Discussion stopped only to prep for Apple Fest 4. Visitors came from all around Grafton, the Upper Valley, Northern NE, Southern NE, NY, and one woman from Florida who's dad grew up here and who's aunt is thinking about moving back. FUN was had by ALL!

It was announced on Sunday that a peaceful Buddhist was about to begin a pilgrimage, walking from Keene, NH to Peaceful Assembly Church. A short private message from “K'neth” included a link to his blog.

We wish K'neth pleasant, Peaceful, and safe traveling and look forward to his arrival and, at some point, we will likely have a meet and greet for K'neth at the church.

I had been told by VN staff that they do not generally publish full articles on line. This one is published in full, with the picture. The hard copy paper has the picture taking up about half (6.5 x 9 in.) of the space above the fold... :)

‘Not the Government's Church'
Grafton Pastor Refuses to File With State for Tax-Exempt Status
By Katie Beth Ryan
Valley News Staff Writer

Grafton -- Some might be inclined to call him Pastor John, but John Connell, founder of Peaceful Assembly Church, views himself more as a brother or a friend.

Valley News was here today... in paper tomorrow... town of Grafton, NH (603) 523-7700
wants to tax nascent Peaceful Assembly Church (603) 523-7111.
Please support separation of church and state.
That is what this is actually about.

We've started building the Peaceful Assembly Church youtube channel.
Long way to go. :)

Taking the bad news first and then moving to the good:
Another tax bill arrived.
Someone delivered the mail to Peaceful Assembly Church after it had been sent to an address where I had previously lived. It seems strange that the Town of Grafton's Tax Collector sends it elsewhere, when “everyone” knows I live here - not there.

Our fence painting project continues a bit at a time, and one “abutting” neighbor donated some paint.

Peaceful Assembly Church held a Welcome Home reception for Bob Constantine after he was released from one the government's dirty rotten cages.

Been busy in prayer and meditation (and study) over how to best handle the government's continued harassment regarding their wanting to tax our church.

Our Sunday Bible/Faith/Spiritual Study continues uninterrupted. We did one field trip. Normally we are here at 8:00am.

Peaceful Assembly Church hosted “Liberty On Tour” while they were in Grafton. It was a pleasure to have them here, and they created this nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZycKIHo1ko&amp

Our “Cool Morning Yoga, (W, F, & Sat.) is off to a slow start. But we have finally started.
