Enjoy a leisurely outdoor worship service on the grounds of Prince of Peace Church Sunday, Sept. 2nd, at 10 a.m.
Our traditional Labor Day outdoor worship service is open to everyone–those who bring their blankets, their own lawn chairs, and strollers, etc. We will have folding chairs set up, too.

Two significant events shaped my ministry over the number of weeks, one unexpected and one long-planned for. First, my gallbladder reached its expiration date and required a quick response. But then I got to accompany our high school youth to the National Youth Gathering in Houston. Through it all, God was good!

How do we actually go deep into God’s story? One place to start is to consider how we engage God’s story through scripture within our worship life. Our worship and education committees are going to begin using the Narrative Lectionary to help bring shape to our life together and help us deliver on our vision for building a church to love the world.

Pastor Ruth Sorenson-Prokosch, our new pastor of Visitation and Congregation Care, will preach at Prince of Peace for the first time Sunday, August 5th, at both services. Please extend a warm PoP welcome to Pastor Ruth when you see her.
