The people at Peace Lutheran celebrate the joy of small groups that gather together for fellowship and growth in developing a community of faith.

What is a small (relational) group?
A small (relational) group is an intentional, face-to-face gathering of various sizes, meeting and making a commitment on a regular basis with a common purpose of discovering and growing in all aspects of daily life and faith. Here at Peace Lutheran, a variety of relational groups are provided.

Discussion Groups:

The following groups focus on studying and learning about God’s Word with an emphasis on spiritual and personal growth. Relationships develop as the members discuss their books.

Sunday Morning Parlor Group - meets Sunday mornings except for during the summer in the church parlor. This is a time for conversation and caring support. Current topics are used to stimulate conversation that is decided on by the group. Check the bulletin/newsletter for dates each month.

Thursday Morning Bible Study - This Bible study group meets on Thursday Mornings to discuss the books of the Bible. It is led by Pastor Mary. Please bring your bible and be prepared for a great time! This is a long standing group, and welcomes everyone!

"Just Reading the Bible" - This group meets Sunday mornings at 9:15 (summer hours) and is in the process of reading the Bible together, cover to cover. Call to find out where they are so you can catch up..or just join in anytime.

Service Groups:

Mary Martha Guild - This is a welcoming group of women that balances significant church projects and fundraising with enjoyable social outings, and "field trips" and all with minimal business meetings. Meets in the church parlor, and sometimes at members homes. Events and "get togethers" are usually held the 2nd Tuesday of each month, September through June. All are welcome.

Social Groups

The Book Club "I'd Rather Be Reading" discusses the current book selection in the homes of the participants, or in the church parlor on the third Tuesday of alternating months at 7 p.m. See newsletter and bulletins for book title and meeting location.
