Stewardship Snippet - October 17, 2021
"Jesus called them and said to them, 'You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all.'"
Mark 10: 42-44
Jesus gives us a reality that’s topsy-turvy from what we know! We achieve greatness by serving others? Why is this so hard? What kind of heart-transformation does it require?

Renovate GenerosityAnnual Stewardship Drive This fall we have been exploring the theme of renovation. Renovation requires assessment of what to build. As Christians we strive to build our lives on the firm foundation of Jesus. Stewardship allows us to examine where our gifts come from and how we can partner with God and each other in building his kingdom of peace. Take some time to fill out our Stewardship guide to help discern how God is calling you to be generous joining in this great renovation project of faith. You may fill this out online at www.peacenb.org/stewardship by Oct. 24th. Thank you for your generosity and willingness to be builders of God’s kingdom. |
Sunday Worship @ 10:00AMOctober 17, 2021 Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost After eight long months, Peace Lutheran Church's building is getting close to normal! We capped off completion of most all construction and renovation this week by moving the church's 'stuff' from the pods in the parking lot back into their rightful home in the building. It truly is a blessing and a beautiful sight to see, and it comes as we continue to emerge from the pandemic fallout as well. If you have been worshipping from home, especially this year, perhaps this would be a good Sunday to come back to worship in person! Tour the building, enjoy a cup of coffee while talking to friends, join the Renovate small group discussion at 8:30 in the Fellowship Hall, and experience worship in a church setting once again! We look forward to seeing you all this Sunday! For a worship bulletin, click HERE. Please join us livestream or click the button below.

New Worship and Life Group SeriesRenovate: Building a Life with God Order the Book HERE If you’ve ever been part of a renovation project, you know how disruptive it can be. Your home is destroyed while the din of hammers and saws commence. But after that time of disruption, the results are a new and beautiful addition. Join us this fall as we begin a new series called Renovate: Building a Life with God beginning on September 12th and running through October 17th. Each Sunday you’ll have opportunities to dive deeper into what it means to build a life with God. Please note our schedule has changed: 8:30am – Community and Study time in the Fellowship Hall in which we will watch a brief video clip and receive a given prompt to consider. You may join in-person or online. 10am – Worship time in the sanctuary with a sermon series teaching on the book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament which deals with the Israelites' return from exile and the rebuilding of the Temple. Although the backdrop of the story is framed around the rebuilding of the Temple, the story also describes the rebuilding of the community itself. Click HERE for more details and a schedule. Weekly study guides and live replays of each week's Sunday sermon can be found on Peace's Worship webpage.

Clergy Appreciation MonthAppreciate our Peace Leaders on Sunday, October 31 October is traditionally “Clergy” Appreciation Month and at Peace we have so much to be thankful for in Pastor Jake Fain and Deacon Andrew More. It has been a long eighteen plus months of pandemic, winter storm and renovation that has required leadership, creativity and just plain hard work. Therefore, this year we want to “shower” them with our appreciation and love. On Reformation Sunday, October 31st during the BBQ, we will offer special recognition. There will be baskets out for your cards, notes of appreciation and gifts. Please let’s “flood” them with our thanks! Questions? Comments? Contact Pastor Judi Miller, Worship Team Leader. |

Three Expressions of the Church
We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
