What a Wonderful World

Today's author is Prince of Peace member Milt Warkentien. We’ve just had the 4th of July holiday and if you’re like me, you might find it difficult to be proud of “red, white and blue” in light of what’s being done in our country.

A Letter from the Congregation’s President

2022 was a challenging year for our leadership.  In the face of these challenges we continued our efforts to find ways in which we are called to “build the church and love the world”.  We listened to each other, revisited our history and considered how our community and the world around us is changing.

Our mission, vision and values help us connect with each other by building a common understanding of what Prince of Peace is all about.  To paraphrase Hebrews 11:1, I have confidence in what we hope for (our future) and assurance about what we do not see (the spirit moving among and through us).  I encourage you to read the full annual report to learn more about how, with God’s active presence, we have found new avenues for discipleship and new ways to imagine the future with renewed confidence.
