Volume 1, Issue 1 “For everything there is a sea-

son, and a time for every mat-

ter under heaven” writes the

author of Ecclesiastes, and boy

don’t we know that to be true.

It seems that change is always

in the air with old things fading

away and new things coming

to fruition. God is a god of

changes; not that He changes,

but He is always bringing about

change and “doing a new

thing” among us. In a sense,

God has never ceased being a

creator; even though He rested

on the seventh day, He is al-

ways bring about new things

out of the former things.

Through the prophet Isaiah,

God declares “Behold, the for-

mer things have come to pass,

and new things I now declare;

before they spring forth I tell you

of them." As hard as change

can be sometimes, when God

brings forth new things, they are

always for our good.

We have experience some

changes here at Prince of

Peace over the last 10 months,

haven’t we? A former pastor

retires, a new pastor is called.

We have a new church secre-

tary, a new 2nd grade teacher,

new faces in church and

school, and now we begin a

new school year and a new

season of ministry at our church

and school with new service

times, Sunday school opportuni-

ties and midweek Bible studies.

Changes can be difficult, but

God is doing a new thing

among us for our good. I whole

heartedly believe that and am

very grateful and privileged to

be a part of this season in the

life of Christ’s church that is

Prince of Peace.

Yes, there are many changes

happening around us, but there

are some things that I pray will

never change: let us always

keep Christ, crucified and risen

for us, at the center of all that

we are and do here at Prince of

Peace, and may we continue

to grow in a renewing love for

one another. Lord, grant us a

blessed new season!

Page 2 Volume 1, Issue 1

Dear Prince of Peace members,

Welcome to a new school year. It is a brand new beginning. We start clean. It always

reminds me of how God wipes away our sins and lets us start clean daily. Lamenta-

tions 3:22b-23 says, “for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.”

As we begin our new school year, we will be celebrating the 500th year of the

Protestant the Reformation ignited by Martin Luther as he sought reforms for the

Roman Catholic Church. These reforms were founded upon the clear and authorita-

tive teachings of Holy Scripture. Luther called the church back to the teachings of

Christ and the apostles regarding how a person is made right before God; it is by

grace alone through faith alone on account of Christ alone so that God alone receives

the glory for man’s salvation.

The impact of the Reformation was much more far reaching that just a reforming of

church doctrine and practice. The reformers valued the education of all people, so

they could read and think for themselves and developed the first public education

system in Europe. The education of our youth is just one of the many blessings of the

Reformation that continues to benefit us today

Prince of Peace Lutheran School opened our doors in 1956. Many students have been

part of this loving, nurturing environment where God’s love is not only proclaimed; it

is practiced. This year we will be applying for accreditation from the National Luther-

an Schools Accreditation and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. This

will insure that we continue to be a school of excellence and constantly improving.

As we celebrate this historic 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, we reflect on the

courage of Martin Luther and give thanks for the opportunity to be strengthened by

faith and prepared for life as we proclaim God’s truth and share His love for all peo-

ple.

The faculty prays daily for students and their families. If you have any prayer re-

quests you want us to include, you can email me.

God bless our children, their families,

and Prince of Peace Lutheran School.

In His Service,

Mrs. Smallwood

What does Scripture teach us about how we should

the Bible? What does the Bible teach about God

the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? How and what

should we pray? How does God deliver His gra-

cious gifts of forgiveness, life and salvation to you

that are yours through His Son, Jesus? How does

what we believe effect how we worship on Sunday

and how we live daily throughout the week? The

answers to these questions and more will be

taught and discussed in our WWBTC class. Come

and learn about the historic and biblical Christian

faith; and if you’ve been through this before, come

and be refreshed again by these wonderful truths

that we Christians dearly uphold and desire to

share with others.

If you are interested in membership, this 5 week

ly. Please call or visit with Pastor Sheek, for fur-

Outside Church News

At least 161 LCMS congrega-

tions are in the areas affected by

Hurricane Harvey and the

floods. The Synod stands with

those in need through prayer

and support. “For the love of

Christ controls us, because we

have concluded this: that one

has died for all” (2 COR. 5:14).

The love of Christ compels us to

love everyone. Love flows from

the cross in service to those in need, just as Christ came in the flesh to

save. You can help those suffering from the effects of the storm and the

floodwaters. LCMS World Relief and Human Care, through Disaster Re-

sponse, is working with the Texas District to support relief efforts and to

aid those in need.

Lord of heaven and

earth, we know that You

hold all things in Your

hands. In Your mercy,

provide for the needs of

those who have been af-

fected by Hurricane Har-

vey and the rain that

continues to fall, work

through those who bring

relief and aid, and pro-

tect all from any further

harm. Draw all to the

cross of Christ, who is

our salvation now and

always. We ask this in

Jesus’ name. Amen.
