Welcome to Peace – we’re glad you’ve found us!

Mark’s gospel makes clear how great is the press of the crowd, with its countless needs to be met, on Jesus and his disciples. Yet in today’s gospel Jesus advised his disciples to get away and rest, to take care of themselves. Sometimes we think that when others are in great need we shouldn’t think of ourselves at all; but Jesus also honors the caregivers’ need. We are sent from Christ’s table to care for others and for ourselves.

Our Pass the Hat partner this month is RECONCILING WORKS. Since 1974, ReconcilingWorks has advocated for the full welcome of LGBTQIA+ Lutherans in all aspects of the life of their Church, congregations, and community. In relationships built through outreach and education, ReconcilingWorks shares Christ’s message, the Gospel, which is for everyone equally.
