This Sundays Events
We return to our reading of Luke this Sunday and we begin with the rising of the widow's son. Jesus interrupts the funeral with the power of God to bring life from death. The title of my sermon is "A Funeral Interrupted", and will be about how God is always interrupting our lives with his grace and hope. I will also be challenging us to see ourselves as the interrupters of despair and hopelessness. I hope you enjoy it.
We will also continue with our "Blessing of the Travelers" this Sunday. We will be praying for all those who are traveling this summer and praying for their rest.
This Sunday after the 11:00 service we will have a special reception for David Booher and his new wife, Brenna. We will have a basket for cards and well wishes.
Men's Breakfast Is At 8:00 am this Saturday at Peace.
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 4:30pm-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. We are beginning a sign up this Sunday 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.
We are looking for people to help with the organizing the food and fun. If you are interested, contact Lin Petersen or email Pastor Tart at (pastordavid@welcometopeace.
New Youth and Family Director
Ben is here! We have moved his office with all the other offices. This will make us more accessible to each other and we will not have to heat and cool the section of the building where the old youth director office was. We will have an installation of Ben on Sunday, June 13 at all three services.
See you Sunday!

Greetings Brothers and Sisters of Christ!
I cannot thank everyone for their warmest greetings as I began my first week here at Peace Lutheran Church. I am excited to be a part of your ministries as we share our passions and dreams of sharing our Christian faith with our young people and families. Be on the lookout, as this summer we will begin discussing and brainstorming the ministry that we want to conduct with our families and our youth. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me or email me at benr@welcometopeace.com.
God Bless,
Ben Remmert,
Dir. of Youth & Family Ministries
