WELCOME TO PEACE!  WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US.

Today as we mark the Baptism of our Lord we also pay attention to the stewardship of water on Earth—particularly the oceans, the “life engine” for our planet home.  The use and disposal of plastics have emerged in recent decades as a major threat to the health of Earth’s oceans, their creatures and habitats, and to the health of our own species as well.  A major focus of our ministry of Creation Care in 2024 will include exploring this issue and inviting us to reform our use of plastics. Our baptismal vocation includes not only stewarding our lives but caring for the watersheds which supply us with the water that fills our fonts and for the oceans to which all rivers flow.

We celebrate Christ’s presence in the Sacrament of the Table each week at Peace.  Christ, our Host, meets us in this meal of grace and offers himself,  fully embodied, in the bread and wine.  He invites all to come and meet him in this Holy Meal.

RECONCILING IN CHRIST AFFIRMATION OF WELCOME

Christ calls us to reconciliation and wholeness, in a world that can be filled with alienation and brokenness.  In faithfulness to the Gospel and to our Lutheran heritage, we answer Christ’s call to be agents of healing and safety, particularly for people who have been marginalized by our society.

As a Christian community, we invite all people to join us as we work to better understand the meaning of grace for our lives. We welcome people of all sexual orientations and gender identities into the life and mission of our congregation.
