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.

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!

Faith & Civic Life – Putting it into Practice
This Sunday for potluck, we will follow up on our previous series by holding a ballot research session where folks can look over their sample ballot and research down ballot candidates and other issues for the upcoming election. We will also go over the legislative priorities that have been released by Texas Impact for the upcoming Texas State Legislative Session beginning in January.
You are invited to bring a dish to share or a brown bag lunch. You may want to print your sample ballot ahead of time, if you can. See you there!

LuMin Support

Thank you for Supporting LuMin!
Peace Lutheran did a fantastic job of supporting the LuMin (Lutheran Campus Ministries at the University of Texas at Austin) campus last month. A big thank you to the 12 folks who went down to UT to prep and serve the Tuesday Tailgate meal on April 23. And equally big thank you to all who donated to pay for that meal. Peace sent a check for $1,025 to LuMin. Feeding hungry folks is what Jesus did, and what we are called to do. It is a wonderful way to share God’s love.
