In Ephesians 2:8, Paul writes, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is
not your doing. It is the gift of God." As Christians who are Lutheran, we say "We are
justified (saved) by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone." We
know that in spite of the fact that we are unacceptable, for Christ’s sake, God has accepted us
just as we are. We know that we are saved by God’s free grace alone and God’s grace does
not waver like our feelings of faith. So as God’s sent people, let us hold on to God’s grace
and be God’s ministers and witnesses to all those around us every day of our lives.
We, though many, are made one in Christ to serve all. Christ is the cornerstone of our faith,
and through Christ, we strive to be a cornerstone of our community.
Welcome to
Peace Lutheran Church members
and visitors!
Childcare is available for infants and
toddlers (0-5 years) in the Nursery,
located in the north basement under the
Fellowship Hall - 8:45 to 10:15 a.m.
Large Print and Children’s bulletins
are available from the ushers.
Live Streaming, Sermons, and Past
Worship Services are available at
www.peace2you.org
Please join in a time of fellowship and
refreshments in the Fellowship Hall
after worship.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME to fill out
the attendance pad found in your pew
and pass it along. This is the only way
we have for verifying your worship
attendance. These records are kept and
are the difference between a member
who is active & inactive. Is this
important? It is when it comes to being
able to vote at the Annual Meeting. So
please sign the pads.
If this is your first visit with us, we
invite you to let us know your address,
so we may thank you personally for
joining us.
JOUBERTS – TRUCK LOADING
The date has been set for Paul and Sandi
Joubert to load up their belongings into a
moving truck. They will begin loading
Monday, June 29th at 9 a.m. They
appreciate any and all help.
CITY OF LOVE
The churches of Belgrade will be hosting a
family friendly 4th of July celebration,
called City of Love. There will be slides and
bounce houses, cotton candy, snow cones, a
500’ ice cream Sunday, a free BBQ, face
painting, a bike/car show and much much
more! We are also looking for more fun
ideas to add to the list, as well as volunteers
to help with the event. If you are interested
in helping, please contact Pr. Bob. It will be
held July 4th from 1 p.m. – 5p.m. in the
River Rock subdivision.
LIBRARY
PEACE LUTHERAN LIBRARY just
received a book from Audrey Vitarius, The
Cat That God Sent by Jim Kraus. (This
book will surely did help me accept and
love cats more.) It tells a simple,
straightforward story that shows us no
matter how many mistakes, big or small, we
make, God never leaves us. The main
character is a new pastor that also accepts
the cat. Also, the Peace Bookworm is
starting to grow with the help of the reading
of Peace Library books by our children and
youth. So let's get that Bookworm growing!
COMMUNITY CAFÉ
Today, Sunday, June 28th at 4:30 p.m., PLC
will be serving at the Community Café.
PLC has a pool of volunteers to serve meals
on the 4th Sunday of every month. Please let
the Church Office know if you want to be
added to the list. We couldn’t do it without
your help!
THANK YOU
We would like to thank John Gillis for
providing the church with a monitor for
those new cameras. These new cameras will
be installed within the next few weeks.
CROSSROAD BIBLE INSTITUTE
We are looking for two or three people who
can join with Carole Haughwout in sending
out Bible Studies to prisoners. Please see Pr.
Jeff, Pr. Bob or Carole if you are interested
in this vital ministry.
YOUTH
CAR WASH - UPDATE
WOW! Thank you so much to our amazing
PLC Members, & our Belgrade
Community, for your wonderful support of
our Peace Youth. The youth held a Free
Car Wash on Monday, June 22nd. After
washing about 35 cars, we collected
donations totaling $565!! The kids (and
parents) worked hard & did a great job. The
donations collected will go towards the
mission trip to the Wind River Reservation
in Wyoming from August 2-7, 2015. Thank
you to all who worked the car wash, & to all
who showed up to support us!!

FINANCIAL
HARD-HAT OFFERING
On the fourth Sunday of each month during
this summer, we will pass a hard-hat around
to collect donations to help pay for
improvements on our parking lot. Donations
should be made to the Building Fund.
Today, Sunday, June 28th, will be our first
“Hard-Hat Sunday”.
CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN!!!
In response to our need for more parking,
on May 17th the congregation voted to
approve the expansion of the number of
parking spaces in our church’s parking lot.
If you would like to help us pay for this
needed improvement, please make your
special contribution to the Building Fund.
Make your checks out to Peace Lutheran
Church with “Parking Lot” in the memo of
