Pastor Ted Aller
And with a new year, I come as a new supply pastor at Peace Church.

Permit me to introduce myself.  I am Pastor Ted Aller. I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, graduated from Dartmouth College and the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. For almost 42 years I served as pastor of St. Thomas Lutheran Church on Grosse Ile. I still live on the Island and have remained active in the community. For the last three years I have filled in at Hope Lutheran Church in Dearborn. I serve on the Synod Council of the Southeast Michigan Synod and on other Synod committees. My wife, Marcia, owned Marcia's School of Dance in Wyandotte (Ford Ave at 20th) for 36 years. We have two sons and three grandchildren. Enough about me

I look forward to meeting those who are a part of the Peace family and would welcome the opportunity to visit. If anyone is in the hospital or homebound please let me know (home 734 676 7999 cell 734 560 4892). My e-mail is  tedaller@att.net

In early January we begin the Epiphany season of the calendar of the church. The season emphasizes the light of Christ shining into people's lives...and includes the call of the disciples, reaching out in mission to the hurting and ailing as God reveals himself to the world through Jesus.
It is time for us to be reminded that we are the people of the Good News.  Not just some kind of pleasant, feel good news, but instead the Good News of God that says to each of us that we are not less than human. We are not peripheral to human kind. In Christ, you and I are a new creation. God takes us into his gracious, merciful, forgiving, loving arms. In Christ God reconciles us to himself. In faith, we live together with that Good News. Such is the Good News, we proclaim...such is the Good News we share with others in our words and our actions.
The Epiphany season is also the season for the people of Peace to move forward in its mission as it works together with Immanuel Lutheran Church in Riverview and Transfiguration Lutheran Church in Taylor.
Happy New Year! God be with you. I look forward to meeting each of you.
