Bible Blessing on Reformation Sunday October 27 at 10:00 am 

As we commemorate the Protestant Reformation, we remember Martin Luther, who translated the New Testament into the language of the people so we might all read God’s word for yourselves. If you would like a Bible, for yourself or a loved one, we will bless one in worship to send home with you! Read more…


All Saints Sunday Nov 3

All Saints Sunday Worship – November 3

On All Saints Sunday, we worship and remember the saints who have gone before us. You are invited to add names of those we can remember and honor to the Book of Life in the Sanctuary through October 27 (or you may email names to office@peaceaustin.org to be added).


Potluck Topic 10/6

Faith & Civic Life – Putting it into Practice

This Sunday for potluck, we will follow up on our previous series by holding a ballot research session where folks can look over their sample ballot and research down ballot candidates and other issues for the upcoming election. We will also go over the legislative priorities that have been released by Texas Impact for the upcoming Texas State Legislative Session beginning in January.

You are invited to bring a dish to share or a brown bag lunch. You may want to print your sample ballot ahead of time, if you can. See you there!


Civic Life & Faith

Civic Life & Faith Conversations at Post-Worship Potlucks & Online Sundays and Mondays in September

Join in the upcoming adult education series on Civic Life & Faith, very timely in this general election season. We will be reading through and discussing the new draft social statement from the ELCA (the national church body of which we are a member).

God’s Work, Our Hands – ELCA Day of Service – Sunday September 8
Please join us after the service this Sunday to fill bags with hygiene products that will be taken on the Mobile Loaves and Fishes truck for families in need. With your help this will go quickly and smoothly. Potluck lunch will follow for those who wish to participate.


Book Club Sept 2024

Peace’s Book Club reads fiction, and meets the 2nd Thursday of each month on zoom. The next meeting is this Thursday on Thursday, September 12 at 1:30 PM. The book this month is As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner. The book for October will be The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende. If you wish to be added to the book club email list please email us.


Potlucks resume 9/1

Post-worship potlucks return this Sunday – September 1 at 11:30! This week we’ll be talking about how our denomination comes to positions on social issues to get ready for a more in depth study of the ELCA’s new draft statement about faith and civic life. (And we’ll be adding online sessions, too, for those who can’t connect in person on Sundays!)
