Future Directions of Peace Lutheran Church
We have been asking, as followers of Jesus, how is God calling us to do God’s work, to love God and love our neighbor, at this time and in this place? A foundational commitment to anti-racism and a group of recommendations have arisen from this Future Directions discernment process. Please pray for our church as we seek to live out these Future Directions, and please consider how you will “get in where you fit in.”
