As Christians, a foundation of our life with God is prayer. Jesus emphasized the importance of communication with our Father by His own example and by teaching His disciples how to pray. This summer at Peace Lutheran we will look more closely at the Lord's Prayer, which Jesus shared with His followers. "Lord, Teach Us to Pray: Six Studies on Spirituality and the Lord's Prayer" will be offered on Wednesday mornings at 6:30-7:45 am and 9-10:30 am, beginning June 10 and continuing through July 22. The cost is $12.00. Look for registration information today in the narthex.

Next Sunday our preacher will be Pastor Jeff Heiderscheit, who returns after a two month medical leave.  Come and celebrate his return. 

 
May 31 is Pentecost Sunday
.  Our preacher will be Rev. Heather Hammond from the Minneapolis Area Synod.  She is our coach for the Natural Church Development project.
