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)

| FAREWELL FROM PASTOR MARK.. | | 
The time of closure of the interim period at Prince of Peace is swiftly approaching.
During the months that we served together we were able to work toward this point of beginning a new chapter of life for the congregation. It has been my joy to work closely with you and with the staff of this church. As you look forward to a bright and vibrant future, may God bless you all with renewed energy and heightened capacity of sharing your gifts of ministry with the community and the greater church.
My time as interim senior pastor will conclude August 30, 2011. I will continue my prayer support for the leadership, the staff and the congregation as a whole. God's blessings to you all.
God's peace,
Mark F. Bents
Interim Senior Pastor
