Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, La Crescent MN

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, La Crescent MN Making God Visible 60 years ago this week a bunch of mostly 20-somethings started this church. What kind of church are we going to be? Amen.

They imagined a spiritual home where others could only see an orchard. They had no idea how this fledgling church would measure its giving to hunger causes someday in fractions of millions of dollars (almost half a million the past 15 years)

Years ago they wondered…
What kind of church are we going to make here? They were imagining the church we’re sitting in right now. A place we tell the sacred stories of our oneness in Christ (catholic). A place we gather to coax those stories out of one another because we are evangelical. Heritage week we celebrate this house of hope and gratitude, a house of healing and hospitality. This is a peace house, a sanctuary, in every sense of that word, and it is a house still under construction; it stands in need of everyone’s creative hand. It still is a cauldron of imagination where the fires of justice burn. A place that today moves people out the door with the shout “Go in peace. Serve the Lord” convinced that God needs us more in the world than in here. This is the calling and the joy of this community of faith. Old people, young people, all of us together.
