Sunday Preview (December 18, 2022)

Advent! | ‘A Light Has Come’ | On this advent journey we started to hear the story of the magi coming to visit Jesus. They brought three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Why those gifts? What could they mean?

Are you ready for some beautiful music?! This Sunday we have a special musical Sunday planned. The choir will be with us, Kara Baldwin will be doing a bell solo, and David Trelles will be playing the violin! What a wonderful way to enter into the final week of advent.

“Oh light, mending fractured earth, the soul now felt it’s worth, holy night”

Christmas Morning at Peace

Christmas day is on a Sunday this year! Join us in the Fellowship Hall for a time of good food and good company. Wear your favorite Christmas pajamas, because it’s still Christmas morning!

Sign-up HERE to bring an egg bake or something equally as scrumptious. 

Peace is making the cinnamon rolls! So come hungry!!!

Also…don’t forget to wear your Christmas pajamas! (I know that you think I’m joking when I say this…but just wait and see what I’m wearing on Christmas morning!)

Family Ministry Updates

Lets Lefse! 

Encore (Peace Youth) are making lefse (never lutefisk) this Sunday, after church in the Fellowship Hall. This is our second time making lefse, so we are basically professionals.  Everyone is invited to participate; the more the merrier!!  We will provide the tools, a teacher (thanks, Mom!), aprons (can get messy) and all the lefse you can eat and take home! Peace will also be providing a light lunch.  Looking forward to seeing you!
