Hey Sports People!

Several sports seasons are officially in full swing, so please send Katie your child's sports schedules and she will try to attend a game - and if they are in a weekend tournament send her the full schedule and she will try and make it to the tournament. Now that the summer routine is established it will be a great chance for me to get out and see you on the fields, or courts - or whatever it may be!

I'M IN! 
I'm In  

Catch the Excitement!

 
We are embarking on a new era, one that will advance our ministry locally and globally. We are preparing to welcome Pastor Chad Brekke shortly, and we have a list of things to accomplish from the Congregational Council and the Special Gifts team before his arrival.
Our Priorities:
  • Relocation expenses
  • Transitional non-budgeted salary expenses
  • Technology support and equipment
  • Senior Pastor initiatives
Our goal is to raise $36,000 by the end of the year.
As of August 4, we're at $20,455.

 

 

Are you in?

 

Your support will help ensure that Pastor Chad can quickly share his worship and ministry skills with our community of faith. Can we count on you? By now you have received a mailing from Prince of Peace with details. Return the Special Gift card and your contribution in the envelope and write "I'm In" on the memo line.
If you have questions, contact Ron Welde, our Special Gifts Team Chairman.
God's blessings to you all!

Homecoming Sunday 2010

It's just over a month away!

 

Homecoming at Prince of Peace. Last year was lots of fun! Lots of great memories as we greeted each other and geared up for the fall programs.

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER
 Topic selection underway - All are welcome! 
 

Women Of Faith And Love Bible Study (WOFAL)

We meet on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month @ 7:00 p.m. Contact Naomi Helm with your study preference:

 

Angels (LifeGuide Bible Study$6.29/tx or 10+ @ $5.49/tx)

Thirty-four of the Bible's books talk about angels in detail. Jesus referred to angels as real beings who were involved in every realm of human activity.

 

Decisions, Seeking Gods' Guidance(LifeGuide Topical Bible Studies...$6.29/tx or $5.49/tx for 10+ copies)

Unfortunately, the Bible cannot give us the answer to every choice we face. But the Bible does teach us how to make decisions, and this study will help you to learn those principles and apply them to your life.
