Stewardship Snippet - March 28, 2021
“While [Jesus] was at home in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head.”
Mark 14:3
Today we enter Holy Week and walk the road with Jesus to the cross. The gospel lesson opens with a story of second-mile generosity. The unnamed woman anoints Jesus with a costly perfume. While others criticize her wastefulness, Jesus praises her lavish gift and pure intent. What have you to bring to Jesus?

Exploring the Bible TogetherTUESDAYS @ 6:30pm. Join Pastor Jake Fain, Deacon Andrew More, and Pastor Paul Miller as we explore the Bible together. This week we begin a new six session series looking at The Trinity throughout the Book of Genesis. To check out this week's episode, click on the title above God our Creator: Genesis 1. In the first article (beginning) of the Apostle's Creed, we profess our faith in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Through a closer look into the historical, cultural, and literary context of Genesis chapter 1, we see more clearly God's purpose in creating a beautiful universe filled with life, including humanity. 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 God Our Creator: Genesis 1 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:
Marvin Monson in honor of Sharon's birthday on March 29. |
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.
