Message from Pastor Pete

  

Pastor Pete will be on vacation from July 26th through August 6th.  


Stud Signing Sunday!

On Sunday, August 7th Peace will worship at our NEW BUILDING...and will end the service with a time to sign the studs! This is a chance for your name (and thoughts) to be saved forever within the building. After we sign the studs, the insulation and drywall will cover it all up. It's an exciting day for Peace...don't miss out! Please bring a lawn chair since we don't yet have anywhere to sit!

God With Us
 

God is always here for us in every situation we might face. The Bible says: "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted he will show you a way out so that you can endure." (1 Corinthians 10 v 13)
