we are a sanctuary denomination
|
On August 7 the 2019 ELCA Churchwide Assembly voted to approve a memorial that declares the ELCA a sanctuary church. The ELCA is the first North American denomination to declare itself a sanctuary church body. As a sanctuary church the ELCA is committed to serving and supporting migrant children and families in communities across the country. To learn more about this and other action taken at the assembly, visit https://elca.org/News-and-Events/8000 Read Virginia Synod Bishop Humphrey's summary and comments here. |

JUSTICE MINISTRY LISTENING SESSIONS
IMPACT
Justice Ministry Listening Process:
September 29th after each worship service
Soon IMPACT – a direct action consortium of faith organizations - will choose a new area to work for improvement. Your concerns, worries, and stories of unaddressed problems in our community will help form the new focus. On Sunday, September 29th between the services and after the second service, we will collect your stories.
In the past IMPACT has called on officials to extend bus routes, provide dental care through the Free Clinic, to create affordable housing funds, help young people get training and jobs in health care, expand hours for child psychiatric care, and more. It all started with stories from the members of the 25 congregations of IMPACT. Peace is one of those congregations.
Please join us to share your stories. We also invite you to join our Justice Ministry Network.

Our Sunday afternoon arts series, Create: Peace, was a big hit last year! Here are a few images from some of our programs. Join us in the fall when we resume Faith Formation activities.
We hung the Peace Flags from our Peace Pole on the corner of Broad Crossing Road and N. Hollymead Drive to send positive messages to our neighborhood and the world.

Have you heard about our Hungry Hearts No More Backpack program?
Peace Lutheran Church supports Hollymead Elementary children in the “Hungry Hearts No More” backpack program, providing food for those children in need. Identified students receive a bag filled with food for the weekend, long weekend or longer break, three complete meals and snacks for each day. We hope to keep their tummies full and remind them that they are important and worthy.
Our info sheet (see the link below) outlines the items we need regularly. Shelf-stable milk and protein/main dish items are always in demand. Checks to PLC with "Hungry Hearts" in the memo are also welcome! For all the ways you can help (donating food, shopping, financial donations) please see our information sheet.
Join our FACEBOOK GROUP, Local Hungry Hearts No More,
for updates on current needs and how we are serving.
THANK YOU! You’re making a real difference in our neighborhood!
If you are interested in learning more about this program, know someone that could benefit from it and/or would like information on entering into a more active role please contact Jennie Carter plcyouth@gmail.com
