Dear Members of Peace,

It is with great joy that I share with you – Peace Lutheran has voted to move forward with the “Mission Formation” process.  Your vote to proceed has placed us at the beginning of a new path!

Our prayer for Peace is to remain true to who we are as Lutherans and as the church of God.

Our prayer is that Peace will begin the hard work of looking at ourselves and by God’s grace heal and grow to the church He desires.  A church that “is the body of Christ in the community of Hutchinson offering unconditional love and compassion for all who are lost and abandoned. Rejoicing over each one who comes just a little closer to the truth in Jesus.”

In the blessed service of our Lord!
Pastor John Pasche
4/28/19

Vision Committee met Monday, October 21 and worked on the first try at the Vision Statement based on information gathered from the congregation meeting and the surveys. The meeting began with a video conference with Pastor Frith asking them to answer: WHO ARE WE?? (Our identity), What is OUR purpose??? (Purpose clause), The results of the meeting were sent to Pastor Pasche who will forward it to Pastor Frith.

Steering Committee met Wednesday, October 23 working on the next step in the Structure Team formation. Kurt Bickel will be visiting Peace the weekend of November 16 in preparation for his proposal for structure facilitation. We are working on providing a more understandable proposed timeline that is based on goals reached and prescriptions to be completed.
