Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

Isaiah 60:1

During the four week Let it Shine! Capital Appeal we will explore a vision for ministry and exciting possibilities for the future.  People from the community of Peace will share reflections of their lives in the church.
 

A Reflection from Bryan Rust 

On Sunday, April 22 Peace Lutheran Church began a four week Capital Appeal.  I’ve enjoyed and I am humbled in reading the reflections from our sisters and brother over the past three Sundays.  Getting to know each other and our varied life experiences are important parts of being together in a community of faith.

This reflection in our Let it Shine! Capital Appeal is being published on Response Sunday, May 13.  It’s a day when we’re asked to make a financial response to the one year general fund and the three year capital appeal.  It’s an awesome and holy consideration.  I’m supportive of the growing vision, specifically being with people in our local community.  It’s also helpful to pay for the education building so that we can focus more fully on being in mission with people.  Now the even more detailed and, to my way of thinking, more difficult work of organizing and living this vision begins.  I believe we must organize and live this vision.  I pray that we listen to all the voices in this church and in our community.  Let’s move forward together.  We can’t be the church, each of us, by ourselves.  We need each other.

Be a part of Community Connections during this season, as we explore, learn and grow.
