Peace Lutheran Church
1147 S. Walnut Ave.
Stewardship Snippet - March 21, 2021
“Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
John 12: 24
In this week’s gospel Jesus speaks about his coming death and outlines what it means to truly follow him. Like Jesus, we are called to go the second mile, to put aside self-interest for the sake of the gospel and serve God and neighbor willingly.

Peace DialoguesSunday, March 21, 2021 at 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Join us for facilitated conversation from 12:30pm-1:30pm on Zoom as we wrestle with what it means to be church together in a complex world. Peace Dialogues is designed as a safe, grace-filled place for our church community to discuss various topics of inequality and injustices in our world today. Through dialogue with one another we hope to gracefully explore challenging and sometimes controversial topics in our search to see God's plan and hear God's call more clearly. This Sunday’s topic is on race in America. In 2020 across this nation and worldwide we saw an increase in protests against racial inequality. Join us as we reflect on our thoughts and reactions to race relations in America. It is through our reflections and listening to one another that we hope to listen for and hear God's call. For more information on "Peace Dialogues" visit our webpage HERE. |

Exploring the Bible TogetherTUESDAYS @ 6:30pm. Join Pastor Jake Fain, Deacon Andrew More, and Pastor Paul Miller as we explore the Bible together. Check out this week's episode by clicking on the title above to view Character of God: Faithful. The word *emet* is a common word used to describe God in the Bible. It can be translated as “faithfulness” or “truth.” So when the authors say that God is “full of *emet*,” they are saying that he is trustworthy—we can trust him. But trusting isn’t always an easy thing. In this video, we look at why we can trust that God is full of *emet*. You may watch last week's episode Character of God: Loyal Love HERE. Go to https://bibleproject.com Exploring The Bible Zoom Bible Study
Each Tuesday from 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm we will have an open discussion of one of the Bible Project videos. This week it will be helpful for you to watch the YouTube video of Character of God: Faithful above first, but not required. We’ll spend about 30 minutes unpacking the video and opening it up for questions, insights, comments, etc. This link will work for all subsequent Tuesdays, so keep it handy. Anyone is welcome to join us! No experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary! Join us as we explore the Bible together!

This week's flowers are given by:
Michael and Marsha Dove in celebration of their 6th wedding anniversary on March 14th as well as Michael's birthday on March 20th. |
2021 Flower Sign up
Each Sunday a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers, donated by members and friends of the congregation, adorns the cross in the chancel area of Peace Lutheran Church. A contract with “Petals To Go” Florist in New Braunfels assures timely delivery, quality, and consistency in the arrangements at a very reasonable cost of $40 per arrangement. Flowers may be donated for occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, in honor or in memory of a loved one, or simply ”To the Glory of God!” While we worship with St. Andrew in Canyon Lake, the arrangement will be taken to the altar there and then brought back to Peace after worship. The arrangement may be picked up at the church during office hours the following week. For questions, please contact Kathi Anderson (210) 643-8855, the Flower Coordinator for the Worship Team. To sign up for flower donations, click the button below or go to the sign up button at the bottom of Peace's homepage at peacenb.org

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.
