Church guide

Join us this Sunday, January 13th at 10:30a for the installation of our new pastor, Albert Meier! There will be a potluck lunch to follow. See you there!

Happy Reformation Day! May God grant you comfort in the knowledge of a righteousness that he secured for you in Christ. "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law" (Romans 3:28).

Tomorrow morning at 10a, we will learn whether or not we've received a seminary graduate as our pastor. Keep this process in your prayers and tune in to the seminary call service at https://livestream.com/WLSLive/callservice2018 . There are 27 graduates being assigned and well over a hundred vacancies, so it is less likely this year than normal. But God knows what he is doing, so place your faith in the Lord of the Church!

*** WEATHER ALERT *** Our voters meeting which was scheduled for tonight has been rescheduled for Friday at 2pm due to the snowstorm. Stay home and be safe!

HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE Maundy Thursday - 7p Worship w/ Lord's Supper at Peace Good Friday - 7p Worship (Tenebrae Service) at St. John's Easter Sunrise - 6:30a Worship at St. John's Easter Festival Service - 8:30a at Peace Easter Festival Service - 10:30a at St. John's

Please be advised that our informational call process meeting which was to take place tonight at Peace in Milbank has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 22nd, at 6:30p. This schedule will also allow us to hold a first call meeting the following night (Friday, March 23rd, at 6:30p). While there is a certain inconvenience to two meetings on subsequent days, we are thinking that it is ultimately best to "get the ball rolling" before coming up against certain deadlines (like call black-out-dates during Holy Week or seminary graduate deadlines). Thanks for spreading the word to members who might not see it today!

ALL MEMBERS of Peace and Saint John's are invited to an informational call process meeting this coming Friday, March 16th, at 6:30pm. The purpose of this meeting will be (1) to refresh our memories about the procedural side of the call process and (2) to talk about the qualities and characteristics of a pastor who could best serve the Church in our ministerial context. All baptized members are invited to attend. Thanks!

Join us for Ash Wednesday worship tomorrow at 5:30pm!

A reminder about game night this coming Friday, January 26th, in the Peace Fellowship Hall!

The Sunday School did a great job offering their praises at the Christmas Eve worship service last night!

Sorry for the delayed notice, but here's a reminder that it's tomorrow morning, December 3rd! See at church and afterward!

Congratulations and God's Blessings to Jason & Ashley, and especially Elizabeth Grace - our newest sister in Christ! Baptized yesterday at Saint John's. Here she is with her extended family on dad's side. "God's own child, I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ! He, because I could not pay it, Gave my full redemption price. Do I need earth's treasures many? I have one worth more than any That brought me salvation free, Lasting to eternity!" "Satan, hear this proclaimation: I am baptized into Christ! Drop your ugly accusation; I am not so soon enticed. Now that to the font I've traveled, All your might has come unraveled, And, against your tyranny, God, my Lord, unites to me!" -- Christian Worship Supplement 737, vv. 1 & 3

Please note that Thanksgiving worship times will actually be the same as last year! WEDNESDAY, November 22nd 6pm -- Peace Worship 7:30pm -- St. John's Worship
