Super Bowl Sub Thank You

Mar '18
People of Peace: You are SUPER! Thank you to all those who bought a Super Bowl Sub and enjoyed pancakes at the Transfiguration Breakfast! The sub sales raised $719, which will cover the van rental for the National Youth Gathering. Though we don’t know how many pancakes were eaten, we know $520 was raised to go towards scholarships for summer camp. On behalf of the youth, thank you!
In gratitude, Board of Spiritual Development members

CROP Hunger Walks (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) are sponsored by Church World Service, a national ecumenical and international relief organization. Peace Lutheran Church is excited to be joining again with the Leander-Cedar Park CROP Hunger Walk to raise money for combating hunger. This year the Walk will be held on Sunday afternoon, April 15, at the Twin Lakes YMCA in Cedar Park. Walkers last year enjoyed the shady paved path along beautiful Brushy Creek. The path is stroller and pet friendly, too.
