You’re In the Right Place
An invitation to discover where God might be leading you this season
It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from or where you’re going to. At Peace, you’re in the right place.
Our prayer is that God will use this church to help you find your unique way of following Jesus in this season of your life. This magazine is one part of that effort.
The Discover Peace Wheel you can see in the magazine contains the overall shape of a year in the life of our congregation as well as Vine, the publication of 17 ELCA churches in the Sioux Falls area.
Shape of the Year / Orientation
What we hope leaps from the page is our ongoing desire to invite you to consider where God might be leading you in a particular season of faith. In that way, Discover Peace is a perennial invitation that will be ready when you’re ready.
Discover Peace Process
You can start this process in the pages of this magazine. In the next section, you’ll find simple questions to help you consider where God might be leading you this season. Some anchors to our approach are:
You are the expert in your story! This isn’t a quiz or a test where you must find the right answer.
God is active in every story. Sometimes God is loud to get our attention, and sometimes God creates quiet to draw us into deeper listening. God is always active.
We all have a unique way of following Jesus. My way of following Jesus and your way of following Jesus don’t have to be the same to be faithful.
Thank you for trusting your story with us! Here are three invitations for next steps:
Pick up a Discover Peace Journal
Whether this season of ministry is an independent one or done with community, the Discover Peace Journal can accompany you as your story of faith unfolds. Our heart is that over time, it will become a narrative timeline of God’s activity in your story. You can pick a journal up at the Information Wall in the Welcome Area or find a digital copy at peacelutheran.com/discover.
Join a Discover Peace Class
Sometimes discernment is best experienced in community. Join a Discover Peace Guide and other curious people for a conversation about what God is up to. Sign up at plc.life.
