Divine Service: Sunday evenings at 3 pm
Divine Service is held at Peace Lutheran Church on Sundays at 3 pm to better accommodate our vacancy pastor, Rev. Sawyer Meyers. Sunday school is at 4:15 pm, following the Divine Service, for both children and adults. Please join us to hear the Word of God and partake of His Sacraments!
Bible Studies: Sunday at 4:15 pm and Thursdays at 9 am
Weekly Bible studies are held on Sunday afternoons after Divine Service. Children meet in the parsonage and adults meet in the Sanctuary. We also hold an adult Bible study on Thursday mornings at 9 am in the parsonage. Pastor Meyers is leading a study on the book of Genesis.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us as we read, hear, and learn about God’s Word!

FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT (Laetare)
Exodus 16:2–21
Galatians 4:21–31
John 6:1–15
The Lord Feeds His People
The Lord provided bread from heaven for His people in the wilderness (Ex. 16:2–21). Now He who is Himself the living bread from heaven miraculously provides bread for the five thousand (John 6:1–15). This takes place near the time of the Passover, after a great multitude had followed Jesus across the sea, and when He went up on a mountain. Seen in this way, Jesus is our new and greater Moses, who releases us from the bondage of Mount Sinai and makes us free children of the promise (Gal. 4:21–31). Five loaves become twelve baskets—that is, the five books of Moses find their goal and fulfillment in Christ, whose people continue steadfastly in the doctrine and fellowship of the twelve apostles, and in the breaking and receiving of the bread of life, which is the body of Christ together with His precious blood, and in the prayers (Acts 2:41–47). So it is that God’s people “shall not hunger or thirst” (Is. 49:8–13). For He abundantly provides for us in both body and soul.
Bible memory work
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4)
