WELCOME TO PEACE
The Time After Pentecost
The longest season of the church year falls between Pentecost and Reformation Sunday. This is often called the time after Pentecost or Ordinary time. This is a season of where we study the teaching of Jesus paying close attention to parables and miracles. The green color for the season reminds us of our growth in our faith, and symbols such as loaves and fishes, are used to remind us of Jesus’ teachings.
What’s Happening
Our June Fund of the Month is Peace Lutheran’s Inmate Ministry! This special outreach helped 34 homeless inmates in 2024, 8 more then we did in 2023, and we are hoping to grow the ministry in 2025! Working with the sheriff’s department, Peace Lutheran provides a small donation to the commissaries of inmates in our local jail who don’t receive support from anyone else. These funds can then be used to purchase items such as toothpaste, socks, phone cards, and small snacks. These donations are accompanied by a simple card telling them that quoting John 4:19 “We love because he first loved us.” and reminding them that God loves them. This is a gesture of support for people who often feel alone, isolated, and trapped by the mistakes of their past. You donate by putting funds in the blue box on the table in the Narthex throughout the month of June
