The leadership of women in this congregation has taken many forms over the past six decades but it has remained a constant part of our identity and integral in living out our calling to be the church. As another commemoration of our 60th Anniversary Year, join us for worship Sunday, January 28, 2018 as we celebrate the innumerable contributions the women of this congregation have made.
The Social Concerns Committee hosts a gathering Jan. 17th (the 3rd Wednesday of each month) at 5:30 p.m. for dinner and discussion. We have several events to talk about, and we are continuing ongoing discussion of what we can participate in as a congregation to further understanding on issues of race and equal justice in our community.
Like always, behind the scenes, Children’s Ministry is adapting, changing, and working to meet the needs of our families and like always, at the forefront, it is business as usual. During this interim period, our Sunday School programming will remain unchanged.
One notable discussion we had this last month was on racism. We unfolded a short history of race relations in the U.S. and shared about how racism exists in society today. It’s difficult to be vulnerable and admit when we don’t know all of the statistics and ways to be allies, but having this conversation as a group led to some positive tension and learning.
The generosity of the members of Prince of Peace in support of our partnership with Bomalang’ombe is truly inspiring. We’ve shared your gifts in so many ways with our partners in Tanzania. At our dinner in November we were honored to have Bishop Gaville and his wife Pamela as our guests.
