Peace, a United Methodist Community church, to celebrate 60th anniversary BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Sixty years ago, on March 26, 1962, a group of five men from Centennial United Methodist, the district superintendent and representatives of the Methodists builders organization, met to discuss establishing a new Methodist church in the Shoreview area. Peace Community of Faith Methodist Church in Shoreview was established. An anniversary celebration will be held Sunday, Oct. 9, at Peace, a United Methodist Community Church, 5050 Hodgson Road in Shoreview. “We’ve invited all of our prior pastors, and we know that our district superintendent Dan Johnson is coming to give a blessing,” Peace

lay leader Quita Bertelsen said. “Bishop David Bard is coming, and he’s the bishop for Michigan, Minnesota and the Dakotas,” Pastor Jason Steffenhagen added. Also coming to the anniversary celebration is former Pastor Mike Miller. “He was the pastor at Peace for 17 years,” Bertelsen said. “He was here for the expansion when we moved here in 1992 and built the big sanctuary.” The events of the day include: • 10 a.m. – Church service: Blessed are the peacemakers • 11 a.m. – Coffee and fellowship • 11:30 a.m. – Catered meal and desserts (from Kowalski’s)
