OFFERING
💚 As we enter a new season of ministry, we give thanks for all the ways our congregation comes together to support the life of Peace Lutheran. Your regular offerings help provide for worship, ministry, outreach, and the care of our church home. Thank you for sharing your gifts and helping our ministry continue to grow. 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

🥫 GOD’S WORK, OUR HANDS: Filling the Shelves for Our Neighbors
This fall, as we put our hands to work caring for the exterior of our church, we’ll also extend that care into our community! Peace Lutheran is hosting a food drive to support our local Colfax Food Pantry.
With school back in session and winter around the corner, the pantry is experiencing a shortage. This gives us a wonderful opportunity to share God’s love in a tangible way by helping restock their shelves and provide for our neighbors in need.
We are collecting nonperishable food items, especially high-demand goods such as canned meats, peanut butter, hearty soups, cereal, and boxed meals. Please bring your donations to the church collection bins.
A list of specific suggested items is available on the kiosk and will also be included in our weekly email announcements, on Facebook, and on our website.
The food drive will conclude Sunday, October 18.
If you would like to make a monetary donation, please indicate “Colfax Food Pantry” on your offering envelope, and your gift will be sent to the pantry.
It’s a simple way for all of us to participate in God’s Work, Our Hands—caring for our church and caring for our neighbors!
📚 Sunday School Planning Meeting – 2026–2027
It’s time to begin planning for a new year of Sunday School! Our planning meeting will be Wednesday, September 23, at 5:00 p.m.
We encourage anyone interested in helping with this meaningful ministry to join us. This will be a brief meeting to look at upcoming dates, themes, and the teacher schedule.
You don’t have to commit to teaching the entire year! Sunday School meets just once a month, and even helping with one Sunday a month can make a difference. Curriculum and teaching materials are provided, making it easy to step in and participate.
Whether you’re able to help regularly or just once in a while, we would love to have you be part of this ministry!

In the meantime, 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!
SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Mary Cocking is leading a Bible Study on Sunday mornings following worship. Grab a snack and coffee (or juice or water!) and join her.
We hope to see you soon at Peace!

We have been blessed to have Kate Schneider as our pianist for the past seven years. We will miss Kate’s piano accompaniment and her violin artistry as we wish her well on her new musical endeavors. Thank you, Kate.


















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…
