Our Means of Grace Window

Our Means of Grace Window

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...

About Me

My photo
Pastor Peters
I have been a Lutheran Pastor for more than 45 years, serving in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and am newly retired as Senior Pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Clarksville, TN, where I served 32 year. Now as Pastor Emeritus, I have more time on my hands for the myriad of thoughts that cross my mind. Obviously not all of equal weight or importance, this is the place where you meet some of those meandering thoughts from this pastoral mind.

Why begin a blog?

I spend a few minutes a few times a week checking out several different blogs. Some are on-line forums and others are the musings of friends, who, like me, are Lutheran Pastors. Since so many spend so much time in front of their computer, I am sharing a few thoughts in this medium. So join the conversation and see what pops up.
