Worship
In addition to our in-person worship, our service will be live-streamed here at 9:00 AM or anytime after: https://www.facebook.com/peacelutherancolfax/. Even if you do not have a personal Facebook account, this link should allow you to join in and watch from our public page.
We’re so grateful for this church family and the many ways you share your time, gifts, and heart. As we continue our ministry together, we invite you to remember that regular offerings play an important role in supporting all we do. Your generosity—both in giving and in your faithful presence in worship—makes a difference. You’re welcome to give in person, by mail, or online through Tithely, which you can access here. https://tithe.ly/give_new/www/#/tithely/give-one-time/1302894
**Update Regarding Our Pastoral Transition:**
-Pastor Wes Howell will be leading worship at Peace at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 16, as planned.
However, we want to clarify that Pastor Wes will not be serving as the appointed interim pastor at Peace Lutheran Church, as previously announced.
We are currently working with the Synod to determine the next steps for interim pastoral leadership. We will share more information with the congregation as those plans are finalized.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this transition. Please continue to keep Peace Lutheran Church, our congregation, and the call process in your prayers as we trust God to guide us in the days ahead.
-Sunday, August 23, Pastor Sue Ostrom will be our supply pastor for Worship here at 9:00 am.
-Bishop Meggan Manlove will lead worship here at Peace in a joint service with Trinity Lutheran on Sunday, September 13, at 10:00 a.m. Following worship, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion about what our pastoral transition will look like and the next steps ahead.
Changes Ahead:
Kate’s last Sunday as our pianist will be September 6. Following worship that morning, we will have a fellowship reception to give thanks to Kate for her many years of dedication and for the musical gifts she has shared with our congregation. We hope you will join us as we wish her well and express our appreciation for all she has contributed to Peace.
Kristi has accepted a part-time position in the office at Trinity Lutheran in Pullman. Fear not—she will still be serving Peace in the same capacity and will continue to be available to help with the work of our congregation.
Family Promise Coordinator Needed: Mary Cocking plans to step down as our church coordinator for Family Promise effective January 1, 2027, and we are looking for someone who would be interested in taking on this important role. Family Promise is currently working on next year’s calendar and would like to have it finalized by mid-September. If we are unable to fill the coordinator position for our church, we may have to step out of assisting Pullman Presbyterian Church with their week of hosting Family Promise.
If you are interested in learning more about the position or have questions, please speak with Mary. We would be grateful to find someone willing to continue this ministry on behalf of Peace.
PEACE STITCHERS
The quilting group mets very sporadically through the summer. If you’d like to join us please contact Marilyn Wigen, Cathy Landers, or Mary Cocking and we will let you know when we are meeting!
We hope to see you soon at Peace!


















Half days at school are meant for helping the Peace Stitchers with their work! Thank you, Peace Stitchers, for making Wren's day and for all the work you do making bundles and quilts year-round! 🕊️🧵🪡

Practicing our smiling and waving in the parking lot before the parade.

Harvey was our very special rider.

Pastor Ian, Hans and Wren were ready to roll!

“Fishing“ and throwing candy in the parade. We must have been really speeding along to make this photo blur!

The Swedish fish and “testa-mints” were a big hit with the younger parade watchers!

Grace Jones, Marchele McNeilly, and Karly Wigen listen attentively as they receive a blessing from Pastor Ian.

Ready to celebrate with cake and more…
