We Are God's Light!

"You are the light of the world...Let your light

shine before others, that they may see your

good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5: 14-16

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good.” We are God’s light. Each of you shine God’s light in many ways. And our church is a beacon of light for this congregation and for those searching for the love and goodness that comes from God. Your faithful support and commitment make all of this happen.

As we do each year, we ask you to consider your blessings as you decide how to respond to our annual request to support the mission of Peace Lutheran Church. Please reflect on all the ways that God’s light shines in your own life and the hope and peace it brings to you. We ask you to contemplate also the ways that Peace Lutheran Church has played a role in stirring you to bring God’s light to others - hearing the Gospel weekly, feeling the encouragement of others here at church and seeing the light that they shine.

You are truly God’s light in the world. Please know that we at Peace Lutheran see you shine, and we are so proud and so grateful for the many ways God’s love glows in you. We come to you with gratitude for your past support and ask for your continued financial commitment to Peace Lutheran Church so that we, as a church community, can continue bringing God’s light to one another and to our community.

 There are many ways to proceed with your giving intentions, here at Peace, in person and electronically. If you wish to give electronically through a credit card, this link will honor that request. If you wish to contribute through your banking account please print this sheet out and hand it in to the office. Thank you so much!

we are god's light! 

Jesus taught us that we are the light of the world and must let our light shine. Individually, we all have an impact on others with all that we do. Collectively, that impact is magnified. Collectively, we shine brightly, and WE can bring the wonder of God's light to the world.

shining God's light in new ways

You are invited to be a part of the "WE" in "We are God's Light!" through your response to this Appeal. Your participation is crucial to Peace Lutheran's mission to shine God's light.

Whether you have made a financial commitment in past years or not, this is a new year and a new opportunity to respond generously and in gratitude for God’s shining light in your life. Each June, we start a new financial year, and we always hope to begin that fiscal year with knowledge that we will have sufficient funds to continue God’s work throughout the year. Your response to the Stewardship Appeal is a critical part of our planning for the new fiscal year. Please let your love and your faith guide you when you respond. And please know that any commitment you make will be a beacon of God's light to others and will shine through all we do at Peace Church throughout the year.

God's shining Light Gives HOPE

God's shining light gives us hope. Hope sustains us in difficult times. Hope is a foundation in uncertain times. Whether it is in a baptism, a marriage ceremony, a funeral service, or a grief or addiction support group meeting, we endeavor to ensure that all who enter our Church are given hope for a beautiful future filled with God’s shining light. It is our hope that you will recognize the importance of your role in our church community and the value of your commitment in bringing hope to all God’s children.  

Let your light shine

It is part of the mission of Peace Church to shine God’s light in all ways that we can.

Please support our ministries with your efforts and with your regular contributions.
