JOIN US FOR WORSHIP — Sunday at 10 AM
CALLED TO SERVE US AT PEACE
On July 23rd the voters of Peace Lutheran extended a divine call to Pastor Jay Bickelhaupt. He currently serves our Lord at Apostles Lutheran in Billings, Montana.
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Peace Lutheran Church,
I am humbled to have received a divine call to be your pastor from the Lord of the Church, which was extended to me through the congregation’s president, Brad Mattes, on July 23, 2023.
I humbly ask you to join the members of the congregations I serve in Montana in praying to the Lord for wisdom and guidance on my behalf that in all things his will may be done. We will pray that the Lord continues to sustain you with the Word and overwhelm you with the peace that only Jesus can provide. I look forward to the conversations that I will be having with many of your leaders in Florida. Please feel free to call and email me at your convenience. God receives much praise and thanks for you as you continue to do his kingdom work in your congregation and community. It is a blessing to share the zeal for proclaiming the gospel of Jesus with brothers and sisters over 2,500 miles away!
The Good Shepherd’s goodness and mercy will continue to chase after you, both now and forever!
In Christ Jesus,
Rev. Jay W. Bickelhaupt

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.
Member Information Sheets
Peace Lutheran is working to update our records for each member of the congregation. Information sheets have been prepared and we ask the each person complete the sheet and return it to the church office.
