Stewardship Notes for May 2019
30
Apr '19
This month, we emphasize that we are Stewards of Money and Wealth. By definition, a steward is someone who manages another person’s property, finances, or other affairs. Now, you may be thinking that you are barely able to manage your own money and wealth, and much less able to take responsibility for someone else’s finances. Nevertheless, God has called you to take care of the financial resources that He has entrusted to you. Read more…

The Mystery That’s Always in the Room
02
Apr '19
At the beginning of Lent, I went to a panel discussion of leaders who care for people at the end of life. One of them, a chaplain, spoke of how powerfully she is called to her work…how deep an honor it is…because she bears witness to the great mystery that is in the room when death comes. She went on to say…the mystery is always in the room, of course… Read more…

Stewardship Notes for April 2019
02
Apr '19
This month, our Stewardship emphasis is that we are Stewards of God’s Creation. From the beginning of the Book of Genesis, we learn that when God created humanity, He created us to have dominion over other animals (Genesis 1:26 & 28), which did not mean that humans were given unlimited power to exploit nature but, instead, humans were intended to serve as God’s representatives in the created order.

Staying Healthy During Lent
02
Apr '19
During Lent, many people give up foods or sweets that they enjoy. The practice of fasting or giving up something is to help us turn away from whatever has distracted or derailed us and to turn back to God; thus allowing us to focus on turning our hearts and minds back toward God.

Compare & Contrast – Mutual Ministry & Stephen Ministry
02
Apr '19
These ministries are an integral part of Peace Lutheran Church. How do I know? I’ve participated in both and been rewarded personally by serving in each of these ministries.
Stephen Ministry has been a part of Peace for approximately 25 years. During that time the Stephen Ministers have served unselfishly to be available to people in crisis. Some of those people were members of our congregation and others were members of the community at large. Some of those people felt blessed and were grateful enough that they also became Stephen Ministers to serve others.

Peace Preschool will be holding our annual spring fundraiser and silent auction Tuesday – Thursday, April 23-25. This spring we are taking a break from the carnival. Instead, we will have a “kick-off” breakfast April 23 at 9am, then our auction will conclude at 1pm on the 25th. You’re welcome to drop by any time between 9am – 1pm those days to bid on items. We’ll have our usual gift certificates, including fun family activities in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Austin. We also have a night at the Fairmont Austin. If you would like to support the preschool via our silent auction, please contact director Mary Mayo for a list of silent auction items. We’ll be providing a “buy now” option and can also arrange to bid on your behalf if you’re a Peace member. Email or call the preschool at 512-401-6001 or preschool@peaceaustin.org.
