Some of Peace's Ministries



 

Worship

  
 

From the earliest days of the Church, Christian worship has been marked by a pattern of Gathering, Word, Meal, and Sending. These basic elements -- revealed in the New Testament, the writings of the early Church, the Lutheran Confessions, and ecumenical documents -- constitute the center of the Church's worship. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly at Peace, in response to our understanding of this sacrament as an event that unites us with God in Christ, with each other, and with the Church's mission in the world. In this meal we receive the forgiveness of sins and are connected to the saving grace of God. By Jesus' own invitation and through his mercy, all baptized Christians, regardless of denominational affiliation, are welcome to join in the celebration of Holy Communion at Peace. The Lutheran Church affirms and proclaims the real presence of Christ in the bread and wine. To guests, strangers, and all in need, the Church offers these good things of God's grace.

 
 
 

Music Ministry

  
 

Peace Lutheran Church's music ministry is served by many fine and dedicated musicians who recognize the value and importance of quality music to the celebration of the liturgy. A liturgical musician's primary ministry is to support the prayer and singing of the congregation. Peace features a pleasing blend of traditional and contemporary styles of Christian music. For anyone who feels called to this ministry, Peace provides the following opportunities: Sanctuary Choir, Two Handbell Ensembles, Brass Ensemble, instrumentalists of every kind (guitars, flutes, violins, cellos, bass, percussion, etc.) and the opportunity to sing vocal solos.

Small Groups

  
 

God has called us to live together with Jesus Christ in mutual care and support. In order to build this Christian community, small groups of people come together to share their lives and care for each other. This is the Church in its smallest and most vital unit. This is where people find community, roots, fellowship, and belonging in the Church. Some examples of the small groups ministries at Peace include Men in Mission, Sisters of Peace, Dinner Groups, and Via de Cristo groups. To find out more about this ministry, click here.

Labyrinth

  
 

Peace Lutheran Church has an outdoor labyrinth, which is patterned after the classical eleven-circuit labyrinth embedded in the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France. The labyrinth is not a maze, or a puzzle to be solved. There are no confusing choices, dead-ends, or cul-de-sacs in the labyrinth. Walking the prayer path of the labyrinth is a tool for meditation and spiritual growth. By following the path to, and from, the center, the seeker can use the labyrinth to quiet the mind and to find peace and illumination. Along the way, one realizes that the labyrinth serves as a metaphor for one's spiritual journey. You are invited to walk our labyrinth's peaceful path with an open heart and an open mind.
