The Day of Pentecost
It is now 50 days after Easter, the day of Pentecost. On this day the New Testament Church had its beginning with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to fill the disciples with evangelical faith to go out into all the world and proclaim the saving news of Jesus. It is also Memorial Day weekend in America where we honor and remember those who served to preserve our precious freedoms which includes our freedom to gather and worship. We honor and remember those who gave the supreme sacrifice of their lives in the armed forces of our country.

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.
