LENTEN Opportunities for reflection

Meditation & Centering Prayer
Wednesday evenings 6 :30—6:55 pm in the Youth Lounge (basement) Centering Prayer guidance and strategies will be shared as we meet to find a deeper connection to God through prayer. Through Wednesday, April 10. Vespers Wednesday evenings at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. Evening Prayer uses psalms, Mary’s song to God (the Magnificat), and one of the oldest hymns of the Church from the third century A.D. We will read through and reflect together on parts of Luther’s Small and Large Catechisms as part of our Lenten journey. Singers and musicians are especially welcome. Through Wednesday, April 10. |

HOMESTEAD COLLECTIVE: A fabulous musical evening
Known for their memorable melodies and haunting, honest lyrics, Homestead Collective is Caitlyn Deviney & Ben Morris - an indie-folk duo based just outside Philadelphia. We enjoyed an evening of their original music last Sunday, shared with the community and our PACEM guests. We hope to bring them back soon!

Create: Peace
An innovative, art-based, inter-generational faith formation activity focused on an understanding of Biblical peace.
Next gathering: Sunday, April 14, 2019
Our theme for April: Earth Day
We will:
- create handmade paper using recycle bin scraps
- create a peace pole to give away
- learn about composting
- and much more
Create:Peace is appropriate for all ages and open to everyone.
It's a great family-friendly event
Our previous gatherings have been loads of fun!
We heard a Biblical Storyteller and shared music for "Stories and Song" in April. We "Shared the Love" for our service-themed event in February. We celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by singing and making Tibetan Prayer Flags (look for them flying from the Peace Pole on our grounds) and other crafts that remind us what our hands can do in our world.
"Christmas Around the World" was our December Create:Peace.
We learned about Christmas celebrations around the globe and enjoyed delicious international Christmas foods. See more Create:Peace photos on our facebook page and on our Create:Peace page.

PEACE IN ACTION: Glimpses of Peace People doing what Peace People Do.
Our Senior Highs helped design and lead Winter Celebration, a Virginia Synod faith formation event for high school students. Once again faith formation, fun and friendships grew over one chilly weekend in the mountains!

The Creation Care Team cleaned up trash from our property and along Route 29. The Earth is much happier now.

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.
Special thanks to our local Girl Scouts who have supported Hungry Hearts with food and by packing the bags!
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
