Worship with Peace Lutheran Church on The Longest Night
Saturday, December 21 at 7:00 pm
As Christmas nears the nights lengthen, we remember how Christ is present in both light and darkness. For many of us the sparkle, cheer, and brightness of the season are not enough to hold our whole selves.
On this night of the solstice, the longest night of the year, tradition says that nature and all her creatures stop and hold their breath to see if the sun will turn back from its wanderings, if the days will lengthen and the earth will once again feel the sun’s warmth. We worship this night, bringing our honest yearnings, preparing for the return of the light, gathering to embrace dark, silence, and stillness as we wait for the presence of God.

Peace Lutheran Church Invites you to sing together “The Loveliest Christmas Songs”
Finland is a country where typically the people are not very religious. However there is a much beloved Finnish holiday tradition, called “The Loveliest Christmas Songs”. Each December the churches in Finland provide an opportunity for everyone to sing Christmas Carols together. This is not a religious service, there is no sermon or prayers or readings; it is simply singing favorite Christmas Carols with others. Singing together lifts the spirit and brings joy. Peace Lutheran Church (10625 N FM 620) invites the community on Sunday, December 8 at 5:00 pm to sing “The Loveliest Christmas Songs” together. Light refreshments will be available afterward. It is free to all.

Bible Blessing on Reformation Sunday October 27 at 10:00 am
As we commemorate the Protestant Reformation, we remember Martin Luther, who translated the New Testament into the language of the people so we might all read God’s word for yourselves. If you would like a Bible, for yourself or a loved one, we will bless one in worship to send home with you! (Feel free to let us know ahead of time the ages of those we can gift Bibles so we have the most appropriate versions ready.) You may also bring your own devotional Bible to be blessed for the coming year of study and prayer.
