Welcome to Peace – We’re glad you found us!

On this REFORMATION SUNDAY we celebrate the unearned gift of God’s unconditional love and grace, which are ours through the Crucified and Risen One.  The “five solas,” three of which are represented in the stained glass art to the left, became watchwords of the Reformation movement, reminders that reconciliation with God and neighbor is not something we achieve by our own power, but rather is a gift made available to us freely through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We receive this gift “by grace, through faith.”  The five solas are: by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for God’s Glory alone.

Our gospel parable is a familiar one: two men to to the Temple to pray – a Pharisee and a tax collector.  What might it teach us about the kind of God we have?

Welcome to Peace – We’re glad you found us!

This Sunday we hear Jesus speak of the persistence of a widow who refuses to be ignored in her quest for justice.  Our Pass the Hat partner this month is Lutheran Community Services Northwest.  LCSNW representative Kelly McDonald will be bringing with her pieces from a traveling art show produced by refugee folk who have resettled in the Northwest.  The art, which reflects on their experiences, will remain with us through the end of October.

Welcome to Peace – We’re glad you found us!

This Sunday is about healing and gratitude.  In 2 Kings Naaman, washing in the Jordan after Elisha’s command, finds himself cured of leprosy.  In Luke, Jesus heals 10 lepers and one returns to express his gratitude.
