****STEWARDSHIP SNIPPET****
“ The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith! "The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.” ”
Luke 17: 5-6
Jesus and Paul remind us that only through God do we have power, real riches and absolute joy. Like the apostles, we ask Jesus to increase our faith, and renew in us a right spirit.

Journey with Paul
It can be reasonably argued no other human being apart from Jesus himself, has had a greater impact on the world than the Apostle Paul. Thirteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are attributed to him, and one half of the Acts of the Apostles centers on his story. Today, one-third of the world’s population to his writings for spiritual direction, and ethical guidance. Paul, however, is a complex figure. Originally a persecutor of the early Christian movement, his spiritual encounter with Jesus transformed his life into the instrument of God’s mission to the world. Dedicating his life to following this resurrected Lord, Paul journeyed across land and sea to build communities and share the gospel message to the far reaches of the known world. This Fall, you are invited to journey with Paul and walk with him to experience the depth of faith and the missionary call we all have to both be transformed and to transform the world through the gospel of Jesus. Each week we will walk in Paul’s footsteps as we seek to hear that voice of Jesus calling us to be in mission with him. 9/18 Called to Follow Christ - click HERE for study guide In conjunction with this special worship series, I will offer a conversational Bible Study each Sunday in the Fellowship Hall from 8:45am-9:30am. or via ZOOM. Study guides will be shared weekly in the e-blast and on Peace's website if you would like to host your own study or use for personal devotions. |

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.
