• Sunday School is up and running and we are having a GREAT TIME!  The Preschool and Kindergarten classes just finished learning about the story of Baby Moses, and let me tell you - we have some smart kids here at Prince of Peace.  Our 1st-6th Graders have been working on their Catechism Studies and have one more week of that before they move onto the Story of Moses.  Our Preschool and Kindergarten classes will be starting the story of Joseph and His Coat.  If you ever feel the urge to help out with Sunday School, we are always looking for teachers, co-teachers and/or Substitute Teachers.
