If you are new at Peace, feel free to email pastor Paul Lutter at 763-478-9406 to learn more about ministries.
At Peace, you see children in worship, teens serving, and families exploring their faith. There is a place for everyone at Peace, and we provide opportunities for spiritual growth for all ages through a wide array of learning, service, and worship styles.
SUNDAY SCHOOL | During 2022, Sunday School and Confirmation are being held on Wednesday evenings at 6 pm.
CONFIRMATION | Confirmands meet Wednesdays to grow in faith and community. We utilize the Narrative Lectionary to guide our learning.
ADULT BIBLE STUDY | Adult Bible Studies are offered throughout the program year at 10 am Sunday and 6:15 Wednesday.
PEACEFULL NIGHTS | Wednesday evenings during the program year, we gather to eat, serve, learn and worship together. Dinner provides time for fellowship, the nursery is provided for the little ones, and activities for youth and adults are abundant.
LENTEN SMALL GROUPS | Wednesdays during Lent, we share quiet worship using Evening Prayer. Children’s (K-7th grade) education is held at 6 pm.
COMMUNITY GARDEN | God is good – and provides for abundant life! This is what we see and practice through Peace’s Community Garden. All ages are encouraged to tend the garden through Intergenerational Congregational Events and in a volunteer “behind-the-scenes” sort of way. From seed planting in the late winter to harvest in the late summer, the garden is a frequent reminder of our connection to God through God’s creation and a constant source of fun and learning!
INTERGENERATIONAL CONGREGATIONAL EVENTS | Scattered throughout the year; Intergenerational Congregational Events have included such fun times as Welcome Sunday, Harvest Fest, Green & Clean @ Peace Environment Fair, Highway Clean-up, Easter Fair, Health Fair, Garden Days, IOCP Sleep-Out, the Reformation Day 5K, and “Peace Likes a River” Clean-up. Stick around for these something-for-everyone mornings/days!
PEACE RETREAT | Our annual Family Camp might better be called a “Family Retreat.” All ages and all shapes of family and individuals are encouraged to join. We spend Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday morning at a nearby camp (with full modern amenities), enjoying the sunshine, swimming, fishing, canoeing, Bible study, meals, worship around the campfire, s’mores, and quiet time.
SUMMER DAY CAMP | Watch for details on upcoming 2023 camp plans for kids of all ages.
