Sunday, January 25: For Such a Time As This Worship
Late last spring an invitation was extended for those interested in meeting to discuss the changing nature and goals of our nation’s leadership and the impact that change was having on people’s lives, especially the lives of the most vulnerable populations in our country. We titled the group, For Such a Time As This, a phrase taken from the Book of Esther, indicating that God has placed a call on all of our lives to have faith, to take courage, to love, value and support all people, at all times, and especially for such a time as this! But how? To answer that question 18 Peace folks have met monthly to share, pray, learn, and support each other in taking faith-filled action for the sake of Jesus’ values. Relying on the Spirit, we will share our laments, hopes, and experiences at both worship services on Sunday January 25. Please make every effort to be there as we listen to Scripture, praise God in music, pray and celebrate the reality that none of us is alone and none of us is powerless, at such a time as this.

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.”
