This week’s Worship Theme: This Sunday is Father’s Day and our worship focuses on the love of our Heavenly Father as displayed in the lives of Christian fathers who love and serve our Savior. God has a great design for people to live in harmony with one another, love one another, and be at peace with one another and that design is family. We will never get the plan totally correct this side of Heaven but the perfect example is given in the Bible for us to read, take to heart, and model ourselves after each day of our lives.
Happy Father’s Day! We pray you have a relaxing and fun weekend with your families as you celebrate the blessings of fathers.

Communion Participation Roster
Before the worship service, we are asking our members to announce their desire to receive the Lord’s Supper on the sign-up sheet located in the entry to the sanctuary. This will help us keep our records updated and also help with our annual reports to the Synod. If you don’t get the chance to sign the sheet before worship, please do so after the service has ended.
God Wants us to Give Cheerfully
The Bible says, “Each person should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of grief nor out of compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7-8)..
Peace Lutheran offers a secure Give by Text option. To donate via text, send the dollar amount you wish to give, including a dollar sign, to 888-314-2975. Example: $50. You will receive a secure registration link. Another secure option for giving is at our website.
