As we look forward to the 10^th Anniversary of Grace and Peace in 2004 we reflect on the beginning of Peace Lutheran Church on October 3, 1982.  In 1993 the "beginning" of Grace and Peace continued as Grace Lutheran and Peace Lutheran worked together to serve a flood family, and held a joint wiener roast and party. As we celebrate the Reformation this month and the beginning of the Lutheran Church, let us also remember the beginnings of Grace and Peace Lutheran Church.
