he tomb is empty.
After a Lenten journey through wilderness, questions, transformation, and darkness, we arrive at resurrection.
Easter worship includes joyful music, baptismal remembrance, Holy Communion, and the proclamation that death does not get the last word.
Grace rises. Grace is unbound.

2026-04-03 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 06321 Blue Star Memorial Highway, South Haven, MI, 49090, United States
This is the day we do not rush past.
We hear the passion story from John’s Gospel, sit in extended silence, and pray for the world. The sanctuary grows darker as we remember Jesus’ death.
There is no benediction. No postlude. Only waiting.
Grace meets us even here.

2026-03-29 09:30 - 10:30 UTC | Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 06321 Blue Star Memorial Highway, South Haven, MI, 49090, United States
Palm Sunday holds joy and heartbreak in the same breath.
We begin with palms and “Hosanna!” as Jesus enters Jerusalem. Then we hear the full passion story—the betrayal, trial, and crucifixion.
This extended service includes dramatic readings and invites us to walk the whole story, not just the parade.
Grace meets us in celebration and in sorrow.

2026-03-22 09:30 - 10:30 UTC | Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 06321 Blue Star Memorial Highway, South Haven, MI, 49090, United States
“Come out.”
In one of the most powerful stories in Scripture, Jesus calls Lazarus from the tomb. This is not yet Easter—but it is a preview of resurrection.
Where do you need life?Where does something feel sealed shut?
Grace does not ignore death. Grace speaks into it. Grace calls us toward life.

2026-03-15 09:30 - 10:30 UTC | Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 06321 Blue Star Memorial Highway, South Haven, MI, 49090, United States
Sight changes everything.
In John’s Gospel, a man born blind receives his sight—and his world is never the same. This powerful story invites us to consider what grace is helping us see.
What is being revealed?What new awareness is emerging in you?
Grace moves us from darkness toward light—sometimes slowly, sometimes dramatically, always faithfully.

Transformation begins with encounter.
This week we hear the story of the woman at the well—someone who arrives at noon hoping not to be seen and leaves proclaiming good news.
Grace does not shame. Grace transforms.
Where do you long for change?What might it mean to leave your “water jar” behind and step into something new?
Join us as our Lenten journey continues.

Book Study: Faith Unraveled by Rachel Held Evans
2026-03-01 10:45 - 11:45 UTC | Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 06321 Blue Star Memorial Highway, South Haven, MI, 49090, United States
Join us for a weekly book study beginning Sunday, September 21, following worship. Together, we’ll explore Rachel Held Evans’ powerful memoir, Faith Unraveled: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask Questions.
Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial drew national attention to her hometown of Dayton, Tennessee, Rachel Held Evans began facing a trial of her own: questions and doubts about her faith. In this book, Evans shares her journey from certainty, through doubt, toward a faith rooted in honesty and openness. She challenges us to let go of false fundamentals and embrace a God big enough to handle our hardest questions.

Books: $15 for a new copy (order through the church office) or purchase your own copy online. Used books are often available at a lower cost.

A study guide will be provided to help guide our discussions.

If you would like the church to order a book for you, please contact the office.
We hope you’ll consider joining this meaningful journey of faith and discovery!

Lent 2: Grace in Questions
2026-03-01 09:30 - 10:30 UTC | Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 06321 Blue Star Memorial Highway, South Haven, MI, 49090, United States
What if faith isn’t about having all the answers?
This Sunday we meet Nicodemus, a religious leader who comes to Jesus under cover of darkness with honest questions. Instead of shaming him, Jesus invites him into mystery.
In a season that encourages reflection, we create space for curiosity, doubt, and wonder. You do not need certainty to belong here.
Grace meets us in the asking.
