We are waking up to a beautiful morning in Mannheim. Everyone is well and having a wonderful time. We have seen and experienced more that we anticipated and will finish this trip with memories of a lifetime.
We will have lots to share. I think all of us have been renewed in our Lutheran faith and the witness of Martin Luther.
Today we will finish our tour with a visit to the site where Martin Luther took his stand on the Word of God. I can think of no better place to complete our journey than on a Sunday in a place where God's Word reigned supreme.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Come, join others as we get excited about inspiring generosity for the work of the kingdom at Peace. We will be meeting at IHOP for dinner and discussion about ideas for promoting the joyful and peaceful stewardship lifestyle. This fall we will be educating our community about the abundance of God that he gives to us out of his divine mercy. We are a wealthy congregation and we have more money and time and abilities than we can ever use. Our only challenge is to let go of our fears of not having enough so that we can joyfully share the blessings of God. Come and join us. We would love to have your ideas and thoughts. You can also join by participating in our online Google Group. http://groups.google.com/group/peace-stewardship
4th of July One Service at 11:00am, NO Sunday School
This year the 4th of July falls on a Sunday. We will have one service at 11:00am with no Sunday School. The afternoon festival has been moved to the 3rd (see article).
July 4th Festival Moved to July 3rd at 4:30 Due to Fireworks Show
Pasadena will be displaying fireworks on the 3rd and not the 4th this year so we have moved our festival to Saturday. We have water games, (including a slide), board games, a cake walk, karaoke, washers, horseshoes, volleyball and other activities planned. We will have hot dogs, bar-be-que sandwiches, snacks, drinks and ice cream. We will conclude by watching the fireworks from the Peace Parking lot or second floor of our education building. Please call the church office or sign up in the narthex. We also are asking people to bring cakes for the cake walk or a dessert, and sign up to help with different tasks. We are also going to have a "most tasty desert contest". We are going to have a great time and look forward to this fun event.

I hope all is going well as I help lead a leadership track at our synod event Disciple Project in Seguin, Texas. I will be back on Friday morning. I just wanted to remind everyone about the student and parent information packets. This is to help me update my records here at the office and get an idea of who you are! So please complete these and turn them in no later than July 15th so that I can have time to read them before the summer comes to a close and we begin our ministry in the fall!
Also for those that are in confirmation, we are going to begin our confirmation program on August 15th where Pastor David and I will host our confirmation orientation. With this in mind, I have sent out a confirmation letter with our schedule of confirmation dates.

From Coburg
Today we begin our continued quest to find the "real" Martin Luther" in the town of Coburg, Germany. The weather is a little chilly. We wil be visiting a famous castle here where Luther stayed and then on to an Augustian monistary. (Luther was an Augustian monk.) Tonight we sleep in Munich.
I have many impressions that linger in my mind, but the one I think of most often is the huge influence Luther has on faith and our freedom. His discovery of the Gospel and the certainty of salvation continues to provide us a freedom to live in joy and peace. Every morning we begin with selected readings from his writings and he continues to lift our spirits.

We are having a fabulous time! Everyone is well and our group has a lot of fun being together. We have had one inspirational experience after the other-Wittenberg, l
Luther's birthplace, where he entered the monistary, and where he translated the New Testament. I will write more tomorrow. We prayed for you today.

This Sundays Events
I will be off traveling the great land of Germany and visiting sites associated with Martin Luther. I am anticipating that it should be inspiring. I hope to be able to post to the Peace Blog, but am not sure of how accessible the internet will be to me. We will have to see.
Pastor Don Cole will be filling in for me. We thank him for his ministry. Several pastors are available for pastoral care while I am gone. Contact Judy, our secretary, if you need assistance.
Our Lutheran identity is our heritage and our gift to our community. Yet I wonder how many of us can answer the question, "What does it mean to be a Lutheran"? The answer is both simple and profound. To be a Lutheran means to live surrounded in the faith that God takes the intitiative to embrace us first and to embrace, not our achievements or goodness, but to embrace us in our doubts and failings. God is most known in the cross and our faith and God calls us to surrender to this grace in our lives. This grace enables us to live in ambiguity and paradox. Ultimately, all we have is our trust that Grace fills the universe and touches all of us in the most personal ways. In a religious climate that often pressures people and equates being a Christian with material blessings and "success", we stand in this conviction that the blessings of faith are love and hope. We find a calmness, a joy and a certainty that comes from surrendering ourselves to the mercy of God and trusting his kindness.
Special Words of Encouragement from Pastor Tart
What a blessing it is to have a full time youth and family director back on staff. I want to thank all of you for your financial generosity that makes this ministry possible. We have our financial challenges but with generous hearts we will move forward to make a difference in the lives of people here and in the world. In late July you will receive a full explanation of our financial situation.
We are also collecting funds to support the work of our church wide. Let us remember that Ben and myself both attended a seminary of the ELCA, Wartburg, that exists because of our financial support of wider church. Many missionaries, new congregations and ministries depend on our support. If you want to support this work, please make an offering by marking an envelope "ELCA" support. Our church leadership, the council, is leading this appeal.

We will have hot dogs, bar-be-que sandwiches, snacks, drinks and ice cream. We will conclude by watching the fireworks from the Peace Parking lot or second floor of our education building. Please call the church office or sign up in the narthex. We also are asking people to bring cakes for the cake walk or a dessert, and sign up to help with different tasks. We are also going to have a "most tasty desert contest". We are going to have a great time and look forward to this fun event.

This Sundays Events
I will be off traveling the great land of Germany and visiting sites associated with Martin Luther. I am anticipating that it should be inspiring. I hope to be able to post to the Peace Blog, but am not sure of how accessible the internet will be to me. We will have to see.
Pastor Don Cole will be filling in for me. We thank him for his ministry. Several pastors are available for pastoral care while I am gone. Contact Judy, our secretary, if you need assistance.
Our Lutheran identity is our heritage and our gift to our community. Yet I wonder how many of us can answer the question, "What does it mean to be a Lutheran"? The answer is both simple and profound. To be a Lutheran means to live surrounded in the faith that God takes the intitiative to embrace us first and to embrace, not our achievements or goodness, but to embrace us in our doubts and failings. God is most known in the cross and our faith and God calls us to surrender to this grace in our lives. This grace enables us to live in ambiguity and paradox. Ultimately, all we have is our trust that Grace fills the universe and touches all of us in the most personal ways. In a religious climate that often pressures people and equates being a Christian with material blessings and "success", we stand in this conviction that the blessings of faith are love and hope. We find a calmness, a joy and a certainty that comes from surrendering ourselves to the mercy of God and trusting his kindness.
Special Words of Encouragement from Pastor Tart
What a blessing it is to have a full time youth and family director back on staff. I want to thank all of you for your financial generosity that makes this ministry possible. We have our financial challenges but with generous hearts we will move forward to make a difference in the lives of people here and in the world. In late July you will receive a full explanation of our financial situation.
We are also collecting funds to support the work of our church wide. Let us remember that Ben and myself both attended a seminary of the ELCA, Wartburg, that exists because of our financial support of wider church. Many missionaries, new congregations and ministries depend on our support. If you want to support this work, please make an offering by marking an envelope "ELCA" support. Our church leadership, the council, is leading this appeal.
Stewardship Workshop: July 7 from 6pm-9pm at IHOP between Fairmont and Vista off of Beltway 8
Come join others as we get excited about inspiring generosity for the work of the kingdom at Peace. We will be meeting at IHOP for dinner and discussion about ideas for promoting the joyful and peaceful stewardship lifestyle. This fall we will be educating our community about the abundance of God that he gives to us out of his divine mercy. We are a wealthy congregation and we have more money and time and abilities than we can ever use. Our only challenge is to let go of our fears of not having enough so that we can joyfully share the blessings of God. Come and join us. We would love to have your ideas and thoughts. You can also join by participating in our online Google Group. http://groups.google.com/group/peace-stewardship
4th of July One Service at 11:00am, NO Sunday School

This Sundays Events
We have a very interesting story from Luke when Jesus confronts a Pharisee by the name of Simon with the the wideness of God's mercy and kindness. My sermon will be about the "power of forgiveness" and will be about how the foundation of forgiveness is the intrinsic value of every human being. I hope that you will enjoy it.
We will be installing our new Youth and Family Director, Ben Remmert, at all three services. We are very excited and pleased about the gifts and joy he brings our church. We will also have a reception in the fellowship hall after each service.
We will also be baptizing Reilly Nathanial Smith at the 11am service. Parents are Stephanie Smith and Jacob Frye
The council also approved a special appeal for funds to go toward our synod benevolence. This Sunday we will begin collecting funds. We want to raise at least 1% of our budget or $5500 to go toward the ministry of the wider church. So far we have collect $2400. Most ELCA congregations send 6% of their budget to church wide. The ideal is 10%. We can easily do this and I hope everyone will think of the important work of our national church. Go to http://elca.org or http://gulfcoastsynod.org for more information about what our church does. You will be amazed. To be frank, if we are not supportive of the ELCA then other congregations have to pick up more of the expenses.
Fourth of July Church Picnic
This summer the 4th of July falls on a Sunday and we would like to see if there is any interest in attending a 5pm-dark event featuring chopped barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, sides and ice cream. We will also have games for adults and children. We will end the evening by watching the fireworks from the Peace parking lot. A sign up sheet is in the narthex or you can email jgriffin@welcometopeace.com. This is open to all family and friends. We will have a free will offering to cover the costs. Please let us know if you are interested.
Our Stewardship of Finances
We had a finance meeting on Tuesday and I want to encourage everyone to pray about being generous with our congregation. We never want to make our giving about the "Churches need for money" but about supporting the good and wonderful ministries of our congregation. We now are back to having a full time youth and family director and we are excited and pleased to have the honor and joy of supporting his good work. I would hope that we will all think and pray about increasing our giving by 10% as a sign of our support.

Please place in cabinets located in the hallway between narthex and fellowship hall. We will deliver both clothing and food on July 6th. My van was packed tight and was over half full. Let’s fill it up for the July delivery.
LWR Fair Trade Coffee Project
The midweek Bible Study group is a “partner” in the coffee business and sells coffee, tea and hot cocoa mix through the Lutheran World Relief Fair Trade Coffee Project. Micah 6:8 calls us, as Christians, to do justice, love, mercy and walk humbly.
The LWR Coffee Project helps Lutherans answer that call by righting the injustices faced by small-scale farmers around the world. By using Fair Trade coffee and other products in our congregation and homes, we are helping farmers receive a fair price that covers their cost of production and guarantees them a living wage for their labors. Look for the table in the narthex today.

The cost is free. Facebook is a lot fun and you will enjoy the connections. You will need a Facebook account to join.

This Sundays Events
We have a very interesting story from Luke when Jesus confronts a Pharisee by the name of Simon with the the wideness of God's mercy and kindness. My sermon will be about the "power of forgiveness" and will be about how the foundation of forgiveness is the intrinsic value of every human being. I hope that you will enjoy it.
We will be installing our new Youth and Family Director, Ben Remmert, at all three services. We are very excited and pleased about the gifts and joy he brings our church. We will also have a reception in the fellowship hall after each service.
We will also be baptizing Reilly Nathanial Smith at the 11am service. Parents are Stephanie Smith and Jacob Frye
The council also approved a special appeal for funds to go toward our synod benevolence. This Sunday we will begin collecting funds. We want to raise at least 1% of our budget or $5500 to go toward the ministry of the wider church. So far we have collect $2400. Most ELCA congregations send 6% of their budget to church wide. The ideal is 10%. We can easily do this and I hope everyone will think of the important work of our national church. Go to http://elca.org or http://gulfcoastsynod.org for more information about what our church does. You will be amazed. To be frank, if we are not supportive of the ELCA then other congregations have to pick up more of the expenses.
Fourth of July Church Picnic
This summer the 4th of July falls on a Sunday and we would like to see if there is any interest in attending a 5pm-dark event featuring chopped barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, sides and ice cream. We will also have games for adults and children. We will end the evening by watching the fireworks from the Peace parking lot. A sign up sheet is in the narthex or you can email jgriffin@welcometopeace.com. This is open to all family and friends. We will have a free will offering to cover the costs. Please let us know if you are interested.
Our Stewardship of Finances
We had a finance meeting on Tuesday and I want to encourage everyone to pray about being generous with our congregation. We never want to make our giving about the "Churches need for money" but about supporting the good and wonderful ministries of our congregation. We now are back to having a full time youth and family director and we are excited and pleased to have the honor and joy of supporting his good work. I would hope that we will all think and pray about increasing our giving by 10% as a sign of our support.
