May 2017 Newsletter
When the risen Jesus appeared to his disciples that first night, he empowered them with his Holy Spirit and
sent them out. Before his Ascension, which we will celebrate later this month, Jesus sent them again in what we
call The Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you
always, to the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:19-20) Earlier in Matthew’s Gospel Jesus gives us the great
commandment, which sums up all the Commandments, law and prophets saying, “You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
(Matt. 22:37-39) A great commandment and a great commission which informs the Church how to be great for
God by what we are to be doing.
1) Love the Lord with everything you’ve got! The Church does this through worship. Easter Sunday’s
worship was overflowing! Why not a full sanctuary every other Sunday as well, since every Sunday
celebrates Christ’s resurrection. Worship also gives the Holy Spirit opportunity to open our hearts and
minds, working through Word and Sacraments!
2) Love your neighbor! This is the Church’s ministry, serving others in need by sharing God’s love for
them and attending to their physical and spiritual needs. God has established a personal, loving
relationship with us; now we can build those kinds of relationships with the people around us as we
share his love.
3) Go and make disciples! Share the Good News and tell others what Jesus has done for you; let them
know that Jesus has done it for them, too. We do this at home, at work and at school by sharing our
faith stories and being living examples of our faith.
4) Baptize them! In Baptism God forgives sin, claims us as his children, gives us his Holy Spirit, and gives
us eternal life. When people are aware of the awesome gifts and promises God makes in Baptism, they
want to receive all that God offers.
5) Teach them to obey God’s Word! Jesus taught his disciples everything they needed to know for life
and salvation. The Church teaches through Bible studies, classes, and fellowship; every time we are
together to share what Christ has taught us. When people know God’s Word and the Word lives in
them, they are eager to do his Will.
This Easter Season reminds us that we have a living Lord and Savior. Christ is alive! The world needs to know.
God uses the Church, you and me, to tell them and show them! When we’re living in a right relationship with
our living Lord, it’s easy, because Jesus does it through us. We are never left on our own, as Jesus has
promised, “I am with you always!”

NORTHWEST SACRED MUSIC CHORALE PRESENTS
SING FOR JOY! – A THANK YOU CONCERT
The Northwest Sacred Music Chorale has enjoyed Peace’s hospitality for some time now, and it’s time to say
THANK YOU, with a free concert in your lovely Sanctuary on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, at 7 PM.
We are seeing some innovations in our group – the most out-front one being a name change to Chorale Coeur
d’Alene – and this will be our inaugural concert under our new name. HELP US CELEBRATE!
The musical fare will be different from you’ve come to expect – we’re showing our lighter side, with selections
from the lyrical and familiar “Bless This House” to a unique arrangement of “Amazing Grace” to rollicking
gospel pieces such as “Come as You Are” and “Gospel Ship.” You’ll experience our 60+ voices under the baton
of Dr. Stan McDaniel with David Brewster at the piano when we SING FOR JOY!
Admission is free, and a free-will offering will be taken. For information about the Chorale, please visit us at
www.choralecda.com
+ + + + + If you were unable to make the P.E.A.C.E. of Mind Workshop that was held
here in March, here is a partial day event. The Village at Orchard Ridge will
present P.E.A.C.E. (Professionals Easing Aging Concerns Thru Education)
again with a panel of local experts who will educate on the unique spiritual, social, physical and financial
challenges of the aging process.
Who Will Present? Dr. Susan Melchiore, along with a panel of nine local professionals
When? Saturday, May 6, from 8 am – 1 pm (Continental breakfast at 7:30 am)
Where? Lake City Church, 6000 N. Ramsey Rd, CdA
Who Will Benefit? Everyone! Especially those who visit the homebound, caregivers or adult children of an
aging person, those planning for their future or in this special season in life
Cost? No cost; Continental breakfast, lunch and guidebook are provided
This is NOT a marketing event but an opportunity to provide educational resources to our member churches
and community. To register, or for more information, email [email protected] or call 664-8119.
Trinity Berglin will host a Compassion International event on Sunday, May 7, and share with us
the impact a sponsorship has on the lives of children. Compassion is church-based, Christ-
centered, child-focused, and a Christian child development and advocacy ministry dedicated to
helping children worldwide. Trinity will show us a special video, and have a sponsorship table
setup in the fellowship hall for your consideration and support. Please visit her!

Uganda Here We Come…Just a Little Later! The increase in our Uganda Fund is wonderful and a great support to the work ahead! We need to let you
know of a development in the Uganda trip that will affect many things. In April, the airfare went up another
$200 (now almost double of what we were used to paying). Upon doing some investigation, we have learned
that travel to Africa in June, July, and August is much more expensive than any other time of year due to tourist
seasons. We queried the entire team, and the majority agreed that it was not good stewardship to spend
double on airfare to get the team to Uganda.
All this to say, the Uganda trip is not cancelled but rather postponed to some date after August when the
airfares return to the average prices. We are considering possibly an early winter trip or sometime early in 2018,
but have nothing definite at this time. We still believe God has called this team to reach the hurting in Uganda,
we just picked the wrong dates that God wants us there. We believe the delay will provide opportunities to
enhance the trip even more and are excited to watch this unfold!
On a side note I had received a call from a couple in Great Falls, MT, who were vacationing at Stoneridge. They
were searching for a Lutheran church to worship at on Good Friday and Easter and found Peace Lutheran. On
our website, they noticed the Uganda Mission, and it is something they have wanted to do for a long time. We
are meeting with them to discuss details – our God is always two steps ahead of us!
If you are interested in joining the team, please contact Maren or Brian Snyders at (208) 818-7055. There are
many other ways that you can be a part of this team, so be on the lookout for forthcoming information as we
assemble our supply and clothing needs for this mission. Most importantly, please join us in prayer NOW as we
prepare our hearts and minds for this trip that already looks to be much different from our previous
missions. Thank you Peace Council and to many members that have already shown tremendous support!
Brian and Maren Snyders
(Our total Wed Lenten offerings were $1,369 designated for the 2017 Uganda Mission. Thank you!)

Take in a Show – Support Our Youth! We all know the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but Christian Youth
Theater North Idaho (CYT-NI) is producing a clever retelling of the classic tale filled
with comedy, romance, adventure, and great songs. The show is "Snow White and
the Prince." Ben DeWitt is casted as "Clumpy," a loveable dwarf, and Owen DeWitt
will make sure you see everyone on stage, as he runs the light board for the
backstage crew.
"Snow White and the Prince" runs May 19– 28, 2017, at the S.A. Kroc Community
Center. For more information about the show or CYT, go to the CYT-NI's website:

May Adult Study Sunday Morning Adult Study continues with the Augsburg Confession. This document is an explanation of our
Christian faith written in 1530 to defend the Lutheran understanding of Scripture in response to the challenge
of a variety of Protestant positions coming out of the Reformation. There are twenty-eight Articles that include
God, Original Sin, the Son of God, Justification, the Church, the Sacraments, Freedom of the Will, and more.
This is an excellent opportunity to brush up on your knowledge and understanding of your Lutheran Christian
faith! We begin at 8:30 on Sunday mornings. For your information and good, please join us! Pastor Wandrey
Serendipity Bible Study: Wednesday at 9:45 a.m. NEW STUDY! We will begin a new study of 1 & 2 Corinthians beginning in May, and we’re going through the

special time with our Savior, Jesus. – Pastor Gail

potluck meal. Movie choice is “I Am Not Ashamed!”
The youth are excited about serving at Lutherhaven “Champ Camp” the week of June 18-23, working with

SOLE HOPE SHOE CUTTING PARTY What a party!! Twenty people showed up to cut up jeans, trace patterns, and cut the patterns out. The Dorcas
Quilters had purchased bags of jeans from local thrift stores, and had started cutting the pattern pieces weeks
before the event. Through all the work we also enjoyed great fellowship and chocolate chip cookies!! At the
end of the afternoon we had cut up enough patterns for 120 pairs of shoes (that's twice as many as the party in
October), and collected $400 for a cash donation. The cash donation goes to Uganda to help pay for the other
materials to complete the shoes, to pay the wages for the tailors who make the shoes, and to help pay the
expenses for the trained groups of people to go to the villages, treat the children with jiggers, and educate the
villagers on prevention. Sole Hope is really making a difference in people’s lives, and Peace Lutheran is a great
part of that mission. Please click on www.solehope.org and see what is going on!! Thank you to all who
participated, and please remember we will do this again in October. Bring your friends!!

Dear OCC Church Partners,
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for partnering with Operation Christmas Child in 2016. It is a
blessing to partner with local churches to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with children all over the world!
North Idaho alone brought in 7,662 shoeboxes! The total number of shoeboxes collected was 11,485,662! Each
of those boxes represents a child who had the opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
More exciting news is the number of children enrolled in The Greatest Journey (TGJ) in 2016 was 3,552,115. Just
in case you are not familiar with TGJ, it is a 12-week voluntary class the kids have an opportunity to take in
many countries. This class disciples them on a much deeper level. Out of those children who participated last
year, 1,616,466 accepted the Lord Jesus Christ at their personal Savior! God is working through the gift of a
simple shoebox. If you have any questions, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our phone
number is 208-415-8295. Thank you again for your partnership in spreading the Gospel. May God bless you
this next year as you faithfully serve Him!
Sincerely,
Amy and Naomi Holland
(OCC Church Relations Coordinator & OCC Church Relations Team Member - volunteers)
