Welcome Bishop Briner

Welcome Bishop Sue Briner July 14
 
We are honored that Bishop Briner will join us to lead worship on Sunday, July 14. We hope you  can attend to offer your gratitude for her presence and hear from her about the ministry of the wider synod.


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.
