WELCOME TO PEACE
Pentecost Sunday –
Pentecost is considered the birthday of the church! Taking place 50 days after Easter, this Sunday celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit to Jesus’ followers after he ascend into heaven. Described as a dove, tongues of flame, and a great wind the Spirit is God present with us and guiding us forward.
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
