Emmaus Evening Prayer
Worship and Dinner The service will be available on YouTube at 5:00 p.m. Dinner follows the service. Emmaus style evening prayer takes its name from a story found in Luke 24:13-35 when the risen Christ travels to Emmaus with two unwitting disciples on the day of his resurrection (Sunday). On the road he opens the scriptures to them, causing their hearts to burn within them, and his true identity is finally revealed to them in the breaking of bread at the evening meal. This service uses the liturgy for Holden Evening Prayer. It is intended to be followed by a meal around the dinner table. Consider making your table special by adding a table cloth, using your most festive dinnerware, and/or lighting a candle. Also consider sharing this meal with someone over the phone, especially if you live alone. Watch your email on Sunday afternoon for the link to the YouTube video, or find it online at www.peacelutheranlz.com. CARE & CONCERN We pray for one another: We pray for those who need healing, safety and God’s watchful care. This week we pray for Mike Wilms, Sherri Juveland, Lizetta Moore, Kim Wilkinson, Kyle, Gina Nilsen, Laurie G., Jeff Peterson, Chris Mitchell, Don Brown, Douglas Brown, William (Hoyt) Brown, Brian Madsen and Maria Lopez.

Contact Claire Tumbull at trumbullclaire@gmail.com Adult Mission Trip 2021 Update: We have made plans to go to Omaha Nebraska for our adult mission trip this year. The dates are August 15-21, 2021. This area was hit by devastating flooding in March 2019 when there was rapid snow melt followed by significant rainfall that caused the Missouri River to flood and breach a dam. Because of the pandemic, many people are still waiting for assistance to help rebuild their homes. This trip is open to all adults, 18 years old and older. You do not need to have any special construction skills, just a willingness to serve. We will be working with the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance to do our trip safely as we all recover from the covid pandemic. There are only 20 spaces available for our entire group. The cost has not yet been determined but there will be scholarship money available to those who need it. Please let Sue Koenig know if you have any questions or are interested in being a part of this service opportunity.

FELLOWSHIP Quilting: We have received numerous thank you notes from people that received the pot holders we sent to Domis Pacis. They were all very appreciative. Some of the comments were that it reminded them of their grandma, they loved kitchen gadgets, thanks for the kind words, was very heartwarming, would always remember and remind them of their week in the mountains, appreciated our hard work and time to make the potholders. Domus Pacis (House of peace in Latin) is a non-profit centered on Colorado that serves families facing cancer. It gives them a chance to experience the peace by giving them a mountain getaway. We are again making pot holders that will go in the welcome baskets that families receive when they arrive at their retreat. Kits will have all necessary items to make them except thread, easy directions will be included. We are making a simple pieced heart for the center of each potholder. If you would like a kit(s), please reach out to Carol or Sue. Coming up for quilters in this time when we can’t meet in person, we will be working on another mystery quilt. I don’t have all the details yet but will be contacting everyone who is interested in joining us when the plans are finalized. Watch for more details in future newsletters and green sheet.

Team leads will adapt their projects to meet Covid precautions. Please complete your survey as soon as possible. Thanks! Members’ team. GIFT CARD ORDERS Gift card orders will be placed on Sunday, Dec 6. Outreach will likely need some gift cards around these dates, so look for information on that. If you would like to order for either the food pantry donations or LSSI Christmas donations, this would be a great way to help out both the Outreach group as well as our Youth Group! If you have any questions about ordering, please reach out to Lori Schwartz. Here are some easy steps for you to follow when placing your order: When you are ready to place your order, send Lori Schwartz an email. Please indicate how many of each card you would like. Please make sure to indicate what denomination of gift card you would like. Some merchants, like Walmart or Target, give you many denominations to choose from - you can order a $100 gift card or 4 $25 gift cards - both costing you the same $100. But, if you are planning on getting them as 4 different gifts, the one card at $100 is not what you want. When you know how much your order is in total, you can mail your check directly to Peace Lutheran with a note in the MEMO indicating Gift Cards. ALL CHECKS SHOULD BE PAYABLE TO PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH. Once the gift cards have arrived, Lori will send you an email letting you know that the cards are in a cooler on her front porch. Lori will put your gift cards into an envelope with your name on them so you know which cards are yours. If you have cards that you are ordering for any of the Outreach donations, please put a note on your order so she can pull those and can drop them at church. Lori will get them to the church office in one group - this will save each of you a stop at church. Please let Lori know if you have any additional questions. FYI - You can set up your gift cards to come directly out of your bank account (instead of having to write a check and send that in to church). If you would like to do this, please let Lori Schwartz know. This option allows you to send ecards to others (children away from home) or get them on your phone as well. SIGN MINISTRY Sign Ministry: The Outreach Team is looking for someone to take over coordinating the outdoor sign ministry for 2021. This involves coming up with messages for the sign and scheduling the volunteers to change the sign message every two weeks or so. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Sue Koenig. FELLOWSHIP Brewing Questions is Back!: It's been a while since we have gathered for Brewing Questions, so let's do so....over Zoom! Everyone is welcome to join in for some great conversation, laughs and, of course, bring your beverage of choice. Our next Brewing Questions meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 18th at 6pm! If you are interested, please visit the virtual gathering section on PLC website home page for the Zoom link!

HOW TO GIVE YOUR OFFERING Thank you! Thank you as you continue your generous contributions to the virtual offering plate we pass. Congregation members are using these methods: Mailing their check to church / Using their own bank website “send-payment” feature / Going to www.peacelutheranlz.com and clicking on “make a donation” / or, downloading and using the app we recommend: https://www.vancopayments.com/egiving/church-app YOUTH Triple D Bible Study: Both Triple D and the High School Youth Group will be held virtually for a time while Tracy recovers from hip replacement surgery. Triple D will meet next on Sunday, November 22nd from 9:15am-10:15am (which was our normal time pre-COVID). This time also coincides with our virtual breakout rooms, so the Zoom link will be able to be accessed via the Prints of Peace! As always, everyone - ALL Confirmation and Senior High teens - are welcome to join for a morning of laughs, Bible study, awesome discussion and virtual donuts! Senior High Youth Group: Senior High Youth Group will also meet on Sunday, November 22nd from 1-2pm via Zoom. All are welcome to bring their lunch and join in for some laughs and great conversation! THANK YOU!!: I would like to say a huge “THANK YOU” to everyone who reached via email, text, phone call, cards and prayers during my hip replacement surgery and continued recovery! Thank you so much for the amazing cards, flowers, gift cards and treats - each one brought a smile to my face and your generosity and love mean the world to me! I am so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful Peace Lutheran family!! - Tracy :) SOCIAL OUTREACH Harvest Sunday Donations: We are accepting fresh produce donations for Mt. St. Joseph this week. A bin will be outside church from 9-5 on Friday and Saturday and before church on Sunday. This is an old tradition for Peace to show generosity to the residents of this facility on Harvest Sunday so please donate if you can! Operation Warm Update: We raised $662 for Operation Warm which helped 33 children receive new coats this year. A big thank you to the 5 volunteers from Peace who attended the event to help pass out coats and to everyone who donated to this effort. Gift Cards: The holidays will soon be upon us and with that, we like to think of the many ways we can reach out to support individuals in need. Instead of collecting Christmas gifts for the children served by LSSI (Lutheran Social Services of Illinois), we will be collecting gift cards from Target and Walmart. We will also be collecting gift cards for the St. Francis de Sales Food Pantry from Jewel, Aldi or Walmart. These gift cards can be of any amount. There will be a small box in the church office that you can personally drop off any donation cards you would like to do. Just put the gift card in an envelope and indicate which program (LSSI or Food Pantry) you would like to support. You can make your gift card money go even further by purchasing cards through our church. Thank you in advance for your generosity! The gift cards for LSSI are needed by Dec. 6 and for the food pantry by Dec. 13. If you have any questions, please contact Sue Koenig. Meal Assistance: You can also help local families that are in need of food by going to the School District 95 website, http://www.lz95.org/20220-21-shool-year/where-do-i-find, and by clicking on Meal Assistance. If you are in need of food, the website also gives you information about local food resources that you can access. Coins for Change: Thank you to all who contributed to our drive through coin drop off on Saturday, Nov. 7. We raised $911.06! This money will be sent to PADS of Lake County to help them meet the needs of people facing homelessness in our community. If you missed the opportunity to contribute-no worries! The donation jar is in the church office and you can contribute to it at any time! We will count it again when the jar is filled to the top! Thank you too, to the confirmation students who helped at this event and were very enthusiastic in their efforts to let people know what we were up to! During normal times, PADS would be operating its homeless shelters from October - April. We would be bringing food or donations to Messiah Lutheran Church and doing their laundry to help out. Currently, PADS is not operating any of their shelters. They are putting people up in hotels and working with them to find long-term housing solutions. Our Coins for Change program will continue to support this much needed organization. Mission Projects Day: Mission Projects Day is now-Mission Projects SEASON! We, at Peace, have been participating in this project, a morning of many service projects, for over a decade and this year, we are switching it up to be Mission Projects SEASON! People have been busy sewing school bags, sewing blankets for Project Linus, sewing pillows for hospice, rolling bandages and assembling baby and health kits in the safety of their homes. Would you like to help? We have paracord bracelets to assemble and cards can be made for children in the hospital. If you are interested, please contact Sue Koenig. If you would like to donate more items and make additional kits, you can find the information at www.lwr.org and look for " make kits". It will tell you what supplies to buy and how to make them. It would be a great project for family members to do together over the holidays when you can't have your traditional festivities. Once your kits are made, you can call Sue and she will collect them and put them to be delivered with the other kits that have been completed in the Mission Projects Season when we conclude it in February 2021. |
