Welcome
Peace Lutheran Church, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, is located in Belgrade, MT.
In Ephesians 2:8, Paul writes, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your doing. It is the gift of God."As Christians who are Lutheran, we say "We are justified (saved) by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone." We know that in spite of the fact that we are unacceptable, for Christ’s sake, God has accepted us just as we are. We know that we are saved by God’s free grace alone and God’s grace does not waver like our feelings of faith. So as God’s sent people, let us hold on to God’s grace and be God’s ministers and witnesses to all those around us everyday of our lives.
We, though many, are made one in Christ to serve all. Christ is the cornerstone of our faith, and through Christ, we strive to be a cornerstone of our community.

Wednesday Evening Supper and Guest Speaker - November 19th - Quilts of Valor will be our theme for the 3rd Wednesday dinner/activity November 19th following dinner. Quilts of Valor is a nationwide program with the mission of providing a quilt for every soldier wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. These quilts are distributed to soldiers at 70 medical centers in the U.S. and several hospitals overseas. The quilts are a reminder for our soldiers that we are grateful for their service. The quilt will accompany him/her through the healing process. You may say-but I don't sew. The quilt pieces will be pre-cut and the pattern is VERY simple. Several of our quilters will be available to help. Please consider attending this event and help us make quilts of wounded soldiers. Any questions ---- call Diane Oddy. Mike Streich is the co-ordinator of our male sewers.
