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.

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.
