AUGUST 26: FALL KICKOFF SUNDAY
Special worship and events
One worship service at 10 am
Join the Peace community in service on Sunday, August 26! Following our one joint 10am worship where we also learn about the SW VA mission team's summer ministry, we'll divide into groups to head out and serve, then gather at 2pm at the Hollymead pool for fun and fellowship.
Service options include:
ALL BLESSINGS FLOW: allblessingsflow.org Volunteers will assemble new shelving unit and organize donations. Need 3-4 folks with strong muscles for some heavy lifting. Everyone else will be sorting and organizing.
YARD WORK: Volunteers will do a variety of tasks including mowing, trimming, and weeding for several families in our community.
CHURCH CLEAN UP: Volunteers will work inside and out to get our church ready to welcome guests and outside groups this fall. Jobs include dusting, window washing, weeding, etc.
LUNCH CREW: Volunteers will pack and deliver lunches to those serving at other sites.
All projects are good for all ages. Kids under the age of 10 should serve with a parent. Youth between the ages of 10-18 who are serving without a parent should fill out an emergency medical form (see Jennie Carter for form).
The Hollymead pool (at 2000 Hollymead Drive, just down the street from the church) will be open to all from 2-6pm. Snacks and drinks will be provided.
Just bring your suit and towel for a fun time together!

THE PEACE YARD & BAKE SALE was AUGUST 11
We raised over $4,400 for our Adopt-a-Family program, which supports local families in need. Thank you to everyone who helped run the sale (it takes a lot of hands to run a sale this big) and who donated, and thank you to everyone who shopped and got some great bargains! See you next year! |
BIBLE STUDIES
Adult Faith Formation Fall Bible studies
Tuesday mornings at 9:
The Tuesday women's study group will be doing a 10-week study on The Parables of Jesus (a Crossways study with Harry Wendt on DVD), and then heading right into a 4-week Advent study (also with Harry Wendt) before Christmas! This study begins Tuesday, September 11 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. New women especially welcome to join us!
Sunday evenings at 6:
Calling all the men and people unable to make the Tuesday study: we have another time for you! Sunday evenings from 6:00-8:00 we're doing the same Parables and Advent studies. We'll begin Sunday, September 16.
The cost for both of the above studies is $23; the Parables study alone is $13; Advent alone is $11. Don't let the cost hold you back because we have a scholarship fund. Contact Katy Wessel for more information on these studies or join us on September 11 or 16.
Wednesdays at 11 am:
Join Pastor Lauren each Wednesday at 11 am starting September 12 for a study of the week's Lectionary (preaching) texts.

Have you heard about our Hungry Hearts No More Backpack program?
Peace Lutheran Church supports eighteen 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.
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

Hungry Hearts has provided meals for several families over the summer, thanks to our generous donors and volunteers. We are gearing up for the start of school when an as-yet-unknown number of food-insecure children will need our support. Last year we served 18 Hollymead-area children.
Thank you so much for continuing to think of these children and continuing your donations! A box is in our lobby for drop off donations, and checks made payable to Peace Lutheran Church with "Hungry Hearts" in the memo line are always appreciated.
