Say NO to racism! Fifty years after civil rights activists marched in Selma, Ala., people of color still face racism and violence – even during swimming pool parties and Bible study sessions. Everyone interested in what we can do in Nevada County to end racism is invited to a series of workshops starting at 9:15 […]
Fellowship and fun for the whole family! PEACE Lutheran Church’s annual picnic starts at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at Commodore Park in Lake Wildwood. It’s a great time for fellowship and fun, as we enjoy the last days of summer! Lutherans are famous for our potlucks, and the PEACE picnic follows that tradition. We’re […]
Bread and wisdom… These themes repeat in our Bible readings this week. Even Jesus’ closest followers had trouble understanding Jesus’ message when he compared himself to bread – Bread from Heaven, the Bread of Life. We pray that God give us also the wisdom to understand! We pray that the Holy Spirit enter into us, […]
Feel like something’s missing? Jesus promises that, when you walk his Path, you’ll never be hungry again. What’s really amazing? The more you let Jesus feed you, the more you find that this world’s bread – the material things we think we’re hungry for – isn’t what fills you up. Eat with us here at […]
“Welcome, Pastor Eileen!” Are you hungry? Food – physical and spiritual – comes to us from God’s abundant and lavish hands. Today’s Gospel reading likens Jesus, God’s Anointed One, to the manna that God miraculously sent to the nomadic Israelites each morning during the 40 years they wandered in the wilderness. Come to worship, where […]

Can I really be healed? We hear about Jesus healing a bleeding woman and raising a dead girl to life this Sunday at PEACE Lutheran Church. Many first-century people would have found aspects of these stories shocking. “This guy Jesus heals outcasts!” There he goes again, shaking things up! Come to worship and see what […]
Pastor Miller’s commentary: “We share the pain” I’ve been reflecting on the news and commentary surrounding the shooting last week at Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. I see a fair amount of posturing, righteous indignation, fear, anger, twisted logic and empty assessments of blame. “The solution begins with individuals grappling with […]
