Welcome to Peace
Lutheran Church, an ELCA parish here in the heart of the
Branson entertainment community. We have wonderful
acoustics in our new building, now two years old, and
are involved this year in an outreach ministry to our
surrounding area to allow local talent to come in and
show their stuff. On Mondays, January 16, February 20,
and March 19, the third Monday of each of the winter
months, when the shows around town are basically shut
down, we are hosting a Talent Night, focusing on vocal
and instrumental music, but also a bit of variety with a
magic act and some comedy included. Southern Gospel
music, a bluegrass family band, and acoustic jazz are
some of the acts offered. What a wonderful opportunity
for new talent in the area, and for talent scouts and
show producers to get an idea of what’s out there! There
is no admission charge for these events, and everyone is
welcome to attend. Throughout the rest of the year, we
will offer special events, hopefully once per quarter,
focusing on an individual artist or group. And then,
next winter, we will again offer our Talent Night
series.
On a personal note, last summer I was honored by Peace
Lutheran Church on the occasion of the 40th anniversary
of my ordination to ministry in the Lutheran Church.
Again, we celebrated with “A Musical Tribute” and had a
number of our local entertainers who came to sing for
us. A representative from our bishop’s office in Kansas
City was with us to bring greetings, along with several
friends and family members. A wonderful catered banquet
was provided for us afterward, and all had a great time
of fun, food, and fellowship! I was very pleased that a
number of folks were able to be here from five different
parishes I have served in my career, ranging from
Indiana to Illinois to Kansas and Missouri. What a great
honor to have them all here in one place. The only bad
thing was that I didn’t have any real time to spend with
anyone in particular. But it was a great event, and I am
deeply appreciative of this loving parish.
We welcome you to worship with us and take part in our
activities here. We are a vibrant and growing congregation
with a warm heart and open, welcoming arms. Check our
worship schedule and our location, and come on out! And
please, keep our parish in your prayers, that God will
continue to use us to the glory of his name and the
building up of his kingdom. Thank you.
