Sunday's Worship PreviewSent-ness Jesus gathers his disciples and then sends them out into the world ahead of him in preparation for his coming. Part of our discipleship is not only to follow Jesus, but also to be sent. We go out to various places and share the good news. Inward faith also produces outward movement. In what ways does the faith God shares with you move you into the world to bring healing and transformation? Join us on Sunday as we hear the good news! |

Introducing Peace Lutheran Little PantryNow on display in the Narthex The Fellowship and Service Teams are introducing our new Peace Little Pantry! Have you ever seen the Little Libraries around town? Well, instead of sharing books, we will be sharing food and essential items. This will not replace the Food Banks, but will serve as a place where someone could get a bottle of water, a canned meat, a band aid, ... until they get the help they need. The Pantry is on display in the Narthex so you can see what it looks like. We are hoping to have individuals/families come forward to sponsor the pantry each month as their ministry. The Pantry will be permanently placed on a post in the front area of the church lawn in the next few weeks. We would like to have a ribbon cutting after that is completed, we will keep you posted. This is a gift of love to our neighborhood, it is also a leap of faith that God will provide all we need to answer God's call to care for our neighbors. Grocery donations are needed...non-perishable food items in small cans with ring tabs, small juice boxes, bottled water and personal hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, bandaids....Please place your donations in the SOS Food Bank grocery cart in the Narthex. We will sort out the items that are suitable for the Little Pantry-- the rest will go to the Food Bank.

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm In our “Exploring the Bible Together” study, we meet by Zoom as a small group for about 45 minutes each week. Our study covers a wide range of topics, examining more closely the history, content, context, development, message, and interpretation of the Bible. As we do this, we grow in our understanding of the relevance and application of the Bible for our lives today.
Summer Bible Study on The Apostle Paul: We invite you to journey with us this summer as we follow the Apostle Paul, learning about how the early church was planted and grew from a small sect within Judaism in the 1st century to our beloved faith practiced by billions of people through today. In May, we began a 16 week study of the Apostle Paul - the person, the missionary and the letter writer - based on the book, The Greatest Story: Paul (Augsburg Fortress), This study does not require you to purchase the book, but it is helpful.
Anyone is welcome to join us - no experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary!

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.
