Building on the Foundation Campaign 
We are launching our school expansion campaign this weekend under the theme, Building on the Foundation. Starting this week and for the next five weekends we share a video segment after the church service.  Print materials will be available for people as well.  Each weekend will have a special theme tied to our campaign.

  • Oct 16 – Vision – Our overall plans and campaign goals
  • Oct 23 – Faith – The foundation of our ministry and why we need to expand
  • Oct 30 – Family – Growing and inviting people to join our Peace family
  • Nov 6 – Future – Preparing students for their eternal future in heaven
  • Nov 13 – Commitment – Placing our commitments before the Lord

Feel free to reach out to Principal Washburn, our Pastors, our Committee Chairman, Mr. Sol Leitzke with any questions about the expansion or the campaign.  Check out our website for more information.

COVID-19 UPDATE – MASK MANDATE

in , /by

Dear Peace Members,

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has signed an Executive Order mandating face coverings “whenever you are indoors or in an enclosed space, other than a private residence.”  This means all Wisconsin residents who attend a church service will be expected to wear masks unless they have a medical condition that prevents them from doing so.  Pastors who are preaching or presiding at worship services won’t need to wear a face covering as long as they are more than 6 feet away from other individuals.

Since this mandate is in effect August 1 through the month of September, our upcoming worship services will be impacted . 

Your congregational leadership understands that this is a controversial topic and there are members of Peace who stand firmly on opposite sides of the issue. Reasonable people can debate how effective masks are.  Reasonable people can have friendly debates over whether or not the government guidelines are too restrictive or not aggressive enough.  However, this much is not debatable: our Lord directs us to obey our government unless that government would ever ask us to do something that goes against God’s Word.  In fact, that was well covered a few weeks ago in worship focusing on the 4th Commandment (here’s a link to the service and Pastor Waldshmidt’s sermon – https://peacehartford.org/weekly-worship-july-23-26-2020/). 

Let us all remember that brothers and sisters in Christ can disagree, even disagree with friendly and reasonable debate. Let’s also remember that there are matters that are much more important than mask wearing or not mask wearing. May our language and our actions express the love that God has first shown to us in Christ—as well as the unity that we enjoy in Him.  We who are so dearly loved by the Lord — together let’s agree that this debatable issue about masks will not divide us, take our hearts and minds off of Christ, or rob us of our unity.    

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things – Philippians 4:8

A few additional notes:

Peace still offers online worship for those who are not comfortable attending in-person worship (you can find a link to the latest service on the home page)

A limited amount of homemade and disposable masks will be available for worshipers, but we encourage you to use your own if you are able.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to one of the Pastors.

 

Jesus Bless and Keep You!

Your Peace Leadership

December Worship Series

in , /by

Advent,  coming from the Latin word meaning to come, is a season of preparation and anticipation. The Church looks for the coming of her Savior in this threefold advent: his coming in the flesh, his return in judgment, and his daily coming in Word and Sacrament. The Church encompasses all these facets of the season in the single word that defines Advent worship: “Come!” Throughout the prayers, verses, songs, and lessons that single word is our invitation, our anticipation, our sure and certain hope. Come, Lord Jesus!

December 1     He Is Coming!  Prepare!

December 8     He Is Coming!  Repent!

             December 15   He Is Coming!  Persevere!

December 22   He Is Coming!  He Is God with Us; Immanuel!
