New Schedule for Wednesday Eblast
Expect your Wednesday Eblasts to arrive around 4pm weekly! |
Sunday’s Preview – Sabbath as GiftRead Mark 2:23—3:6 Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. That’s the third commandment. Often times the church shames folks who miss a Sunday – clearly, they have broken this commandment, right? Maybe there’s more to it. Jesus reminds those religiously-minded people, the Pharisees, that the sabbath was made for humankind, not the other way around. The sabbath is more gift than requirement. In our hurried lives, the sabbath is not meant to bring one more thing to do in an already exhaustive laundry list. It is the gift to simply be in the presence of God and find rest and healing. Join us on Sunday as we experience the gift of sabbath from our gracious God. For more infomation visit: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+2%3A23-3%3A6&version=CEB

God's StorytimeSunday Morning Worship with Our Children All Pre-K through Elementary grade children are invited each Sunday to join us for “God's Story”. This is our way of connecting God’s big story to their own stories at a level appropriate for young children. Together we dive into the scripture for the day using a variety of teaching resources. Our goal is to create a safe space for children to have meaningful conversations about God, Jesus, faith, and our everyday lives. “God’s Story” takes place during the scripture and sermon portion of our worship service (about 20-25 minutes). We meet in our Fellowship Hall, which is in visible proximity to our sanctuary and restrooms. The children are led by our wonderful team of trained and background checked adults from our congregation. If you’d like to help or have any questions, please reach out to Deacon Andrew. |

Peace Ministries
PEACE PRAYER MINISTRY: Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? Many of us have a desire to have a more intimate prayer life, so might I suggest carving out more time for prayer and reflection? Peace Lutheran Church has an active Prayer Ministry. We have an Email Prayer Chain, we have a Zoom “Sweet Hour of Prayer” Group that meets every Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. and we have a Prayer loom that is included in our Sunday morning prayers. I would like to welcome new members to join our email Prayer Chain and our Monday morning Prayer Group. We have experienced some amazing, answered prayers this year and we have given comfort to many of our members in their times of distress. Please consider being a part of our Prayer Ministry in this new year. You can email me at beckyvoges@yahoo.com for more information. Our weekly Prayer Group Zooms every Monday at 9:00 am via Zoom only. Click HERE to join by Zoom. We have a devotion, share prayer requests and pray over each request. The group is led by Becky Voges.

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.
