September 18^th is Rally Sunday at Peace, and the beginning of a new program year.  It’s a time to re-connect, re-discover, re-engage, and re-join.

Rally Sunday will begin with cross-generational activities at 9:15am, followed by worship @ 10:30 and post-worship fellowship and mission fair @ 11:30. 

Our theme for the day is—WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST: Everyone has an important role.   It will be a time for re-connecting with each other after long separation (and for some newer members, meeting others for the first time); a time for re-discovering our place within the vibrant community of Peace Lutheran; a time for re-engaging in the ministry opportunities that are present in our community;  a time for re-joining the pattern of weekly education and worship as together we encounter God’s word and receive the Sacrament so we can be equipped for lives of service in God’s world.

One year ago, after 18 months of pandemic “live stream only” isolation, we began worshipping “IN PERSON” again at Peace.  Now it is time to take another step toward full in-person engagement. 

MASKING UPDATE: Beginning September 18, masking for worship and educational activities will be optional.  Some folks will continue to wear masks in worship, and Pastor Kindem and the assisting ministry will continue to wear masks while distributing Holy Communion.  Others will be ready to participate in worship and Sunday School without  masks.

As we take this step toward fuller in-person engagement in our community’s life and mission once again, I look forward to seeing more of you, to introducing you to new faces and people, and to revitalizing the mission we share.
