We invite you to become a friend of Peace on the Peace Facebook webpage. Facebook is an online social networking site that helps communities of friends stay connected on an on-going basis.

This Sundays Events
This week I encourage you to listen to our Bishop's report from our synod assembly in New Orleans http://www.gulfcoastsynod.org/TX_LA_GULF_COAST_SYNOD/bishopstateofsynod.html
I think you will enjoy it.
We will be recognizing some of our high school graduates this Sunday and also next Sunday. We will present them with blankets to remind them that they are always covered in the love of Christ and love of our community.
On the first Sunday of the month we encourage everyone to bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank. You can leave it next to the kitchen. We will take this food to Pasadena Community Ministries for distribution.
Men's Breakfast is at Golden Corral On Spencer Hwy at 7:30am this Saturday
All the men are welcome to bring their spouse and come share in a breakfast fellowship this Saturday. We always have great conversation and discuss a variety of subjects.
Midweek Bible Study, "Respecting Our Neighbor's Faith"
On Wednesday mornings Pastor Tart is leading the Wednesday Bible Study group with an overview study of the other denominations and religions. The study should continue well into May. Feel free to come on any Wednesday from 10-11:30. We always have a great time together. (Once a month we take a break for the Senior Fellowship Wednesday.)
Worship Workshop Results
The participants reviewed our current liturgies and decided to enjoy the following liturgies beginning May 30 and continuing through Christ the King Sunday in November:
8:30: "Now the Feast and Celebration" service. We learned this one last year with many positive comments.
9:45: Setting 3. This service is from the Lutheran Book of Worship and known well by the congregation.
11:00: Setting 8 from ELW. This is a new liturgy for us to learn. We think you will really enjoy its upbeat music.
The purpose of these changes is to keep our worship fresh and to honor all the different tastes for music and liturgy in our community. I remind everyone of the ethic of love that calls us to not just think of worship as something that pleases ourselves, but our neighbor. Besides Lutheran worship centers on the bath of our baptism, the welcome of all to the table of Christ and the word of God spoken and proclaimed. Music and liturgy are the means of Grace.
Survey Is Done!
We thank everyone who participated in the congregation survey. Our council is evaluating the responses. We had 121 responses with many helpful comments! THANK YOU!
Congratulations To…
John & Karla Lazenby Cumbie who will be united in marriage on May 1st. John and Karla will be married at the United States Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, Md.
