Stewardship Snippet - January 16, 2022
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone."
1 Corinthians 12: 4-6
God has blessed each of us with special gifts and talents for us to use for the benefit of our neighbor and community. What gift has God given you, and how can you be generous with it?

Seekers and Sponges Sunday Morning ClassMeeting @ 8:30 AM In-person and Zoom Join Seekers and Sponges on Sunday at 8:30am. - in-person @ Peace and on Zoom. Seekers and Sponges will continue our series Luther: Gospel, Law, and Reformation. This lecture deals with the inner context for understanding Luther's experience of the gospel. Our discussion each Sunday will be preceded by a video lecture given by Phillip Cary, Professor at Eastern University. Cary points out that while Martin Luther was only one man - a humble monk and Bible professor - he sparked a religious rebellion that changed the course of history. Who was he? What made his theology so explosive in 16th-century Europe? How did this late-medieval man launch the Protestant Reformation and help create the modern world as we know it? And how should we think of him: hero or heretic, rebel or tormented soul? Please join us for a discussion following the DVD lecture. We will be meeting in person at Peace and also by Zoom.

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm Who Is God? Trying to answer this question is a lot like trying to take a sip of water out of a fire hydrant. Our human intellect cannot fully comprehend God, and our human language cannot adequately express our understanding of God. Yet, there are some helpful ways for us to approach this question that can give us some “handles” to grab on to. Starting Tuesday, January 18th, we will approach this question with humility and curiosity, and we welcome you to join our conversation. Anyone is welcome to join us - no experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary! A helpful video to watch that we are using as a starting point for our discussion is God. There is also a great Podcast series on this topic that you can find here God Podcast Series. Click here to join: Tuesday Zoom Bible Study |
Women's Bible StudyMonthly, beginning Tuesday, January 18 The 'third Tuesday' of each month is women's bible study time. Join us in Fellowship Hall at 12:30pm (or come at noon with your lunch). The study will run until 1:30pm. Ellie Koester will be the study leader. For questions or more information, please contact Carol Thatcher @ 830-964-6425 |

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.
