Stewardship Snippet - April 18, 2021
“You are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24: 48
Jesus appears to his disciples and gives them a mind-opening experience. As witnesses they are charged with telling the truth of their experience. We, too, are witnesses charged with telling the truth. How might you share the truth about creation care and climate change in our polarized culture?

Peace Dialogues - April 18, 2021 @ 12:30pm -1:30pm"The Lenses We See Through" All of us see the world and other people through cultural “filters”. These filters are based on our social and cultural background and experiences. This happens whether we are aware of it or not - it is a universal social reality, how all humans function in and make sense of society. These cultural filters can create challenges for our relationships with others, especially those whose social and cultural reality differs from ours. The people in Jesus’ day were not immune to this. There are many examples all throughout the Bible. In our Peace Dialogues this month, we will examine how Jesus teaches a different way of seeing others, through filters of faith, and how these “faith filters” can allow us to create bridges to deeper understanding, compassion, and community. Join us on Zoom this Sunday, April 18th, from 12:30pm-1:30pm for our monthly conversation. GOING DEEPER: Here are some resources to help understand our cultural assumptions: “Brown Eyes Blue Eyes” - Jane Elliot’s experiment on racism with class of 3rd graders (1968) (6:51) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLAi78hluFc “Kitbull” - Animated short film by Pixar depicting evolving relationship between a cat and a dog (from fear/mistrust to affection/companionship) https://youtu.be/AZS5cgybKcI 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. To check out this week's episode, click on the title above. Explore the mysterious promise on page three of the Bible, that a promised deliverer would one day come to confront evil and rescue humanity. We trace this theme through the family of Abraham, the messianic lineage of David, and ultimately to Jesus who defeated evil by letting it defeat him. You may watch last week's video Jesus: Son of Man by clicking 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, but not required, for you to watch the YouTube video above, Jesus: Messiah . 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!

Jane Moeller in celebration of Jane and Roy's birthdays. |
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.
