Hello and Good Afternoon:

                                                Hope all is well with everyone.  Busy here at the office.  I

                                                am sending you the insert for this week at Peace. Not to

                                                much to report.  Insert looks a little skimpy.  Sorry about that.

                                                One week a lot to report and others very little. 

                                                Probably more coming with the Fall months ahead.  Take care

                                                and see everyone soon.

                                                Dorothy

News from the PASTORAL CALL COMMITTEE:

The next step for the Committee is to interview candidates now that the Ministry Site Profile is online. The work of the Call Committee is ongoing and separate from our agreement with Pastor Scott Dennis, who is serving as our part-time Transitional Interim Pastor (contracted on a quarterly basis). The next Pastoral Call Committee meeting is yet to be determined.

                   Welcome to Peace Lutheran Church 

Handicapped accessible restrooms are located on this level on the right-hand side once you exit the Sanctuary and enter the Narthex/main entrance area.  A Family Restroom with a baby changing station is located in the hallway adjacent to the Sanctuary.  There is a cry room available beside the Family Restroom, with a window into the sanctuary.  However, we welcome crying babies and children of all ages who wish fully to participate in the entire liturgy! 

LITURGY – The Worshipful work of God’s People  

Please note that the page numbers included in the bulletin direct you either to the front of the Green Hymnal (LBW) or to the HYMN #s in the back half of the hymnal.  Some hymns may come from the Blue Hymnal (WOV).  Members, please make sure any visitors near you are following and finding their way through the liturgy.  Liturgy will be sung until further notice.  The singing of hymns will be assisted by both the organist and the choir.  

The Sacrament of Holy Communion  

All baptized and believing Christians are welcome at the Lord’s table for Holy Communion.  Baptism is the entrance rite of the Christian Faith, and Lutherans baptize both infants and adults. Lutherans believe that Christ has promised to be truly present in, with, and under the elements of bread and wine.  Should you, for health reasons, be unable to consume either the bread or the wine, please be assured that Christ is truly present in each element.  Upon request, we have gluten-free wafers; if this is a medical necessity for you, please notify the pastor before service.                                                             

Holy Communion will be distributed by the pastor and an assistant.  Please remember to sanitize your hands before you receive. The pastor will share the words “The body of our Lord Jesus broken for you, the bread of heaven.”  Please consume the wafer, then move to the side in order to receive a small cup of wine and hear, “The blood of Christ shed for you, the cup of salvation.”  Consume the wine, then place your empty in the tray, before returning to your pew (seat).
