Over a Century of Peace
A
landmark in the
Puyallup Valley, Peace Lutheran Church was founded by German settlers (and built by Ezra
Meeker) over 100 years ago. Today we are a growing and active
congregation celebrating our rich heritage and embracing the future.

We
Lutherans like to think that we've always been at the forefront of
technological advances. Well, at least we started out that
way
with the use of the printing press back in the 1500s. These
forums are our attempt at jumping back on that "forward thinking"
horse. Come register and take a look at our fledgling online
community! Mustard Seeds is the name that we have chosen for our grant project to use the money Thrivent Financial has awarded us. Together with Thrivent, we have hit the ground running and are excited to move forward as servants of Peace. We participated in a breakout session at the SWWS assembly, and a day-long workshop for Mt Rainier conference churches on October 11th. If you're curious about any of this, email the office at office@peacepuyallup.org or call and speak to Mark at (253) 845-8819. |
Music at Peace
We have three music leaders: Joan Linden on organ, Jill Burch on piano, and the Cornerstones music group. At this time, Joan Linden plays the ELW 3 setting, Jill Burch plays the ELW 3 and Now the Feast settings, and Cornerstones play the Liturgy of Life and Followers of the Way settings.
ELW 3 is a setting in the Evangelical Lutheran Worship book which you may recognize as Setting 1 from the Lutheran Book of Worship (the worship book before the ELW).
Now the Feast is a worship setting written by Marty Haugen and inspired by Holden Village.
Liturgy of Life is a contemporary setting that we've been doing at Peace for many years. Some of the music we've been using in this service was coincidentally selected to be a part of ELW setting 8.
Followers of the Way is an original setting written by Mark Smith, our Cornerstones director. It is intended to be a reflection of the history of our worship at Peace.
In addition to our liturgies, we have a Peace Choir, a handbell choir (Resounding Joy), children's choirs (Noah's Choir and Cantabile), and a seasonal Brass Choir. Cornerstones is also open to anyone over 14 who wanting to learn aspects of leading worship through music and voice.
LEARN of God and the world through study of
the revealing Word;
SHARE of our selves, our time, and our
possessions;
CARE for others and the creation God has given
us;
TELL of God's love, promises and purpose.
We do this as we
commit ourselves to God, asking for God's help and blessing
