From the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is now official, as we send off Pastor Grant, Tammy, and Grayson. We are in an interim period of ministry as we seek God's guidance as a congregation calling a new pastor. Our theme for this newsletter "Lead Me, Guide Me" is an appropriate Lenten prayer and it takes on even greater meaning this Lent as we prepare to call a new pastor in the midst of beginning to mark our 50th year of ministry at Prince of Peace. What leader will best help us to go forward into the future that God is preparing for the next fifty years of ministry here in Loveland? This is a prayerful question that I hope you will join me in asking in the coming days.
Lent is always a time of deep introspection, but this year I especially pray that all of you will join me in a season of abiding in God's Word and prayer. There are two particular disciplines into which I want to invite you this year:
The first is a special 50th Anniversary Lenten Devotional written by Pastor Tom Stroeh. Pastor Tom served as Pastor of this congregation from 1971 to 2005. In this devotional, Pastor Tom reflects on those years of ministry and invites us into the lesson he learned from people along the way. It is a wonderful resource that I hope you will all take advantage of either in print or as a daily email during Lent.
The second opportunity for a deeper abiding this Lent is our midweek time together on Wednesday evenings. This year we will do something new and include a time of bible study on Wednesday nights. Pastor Pete Rudowski, retired from Good Shepherd in Kenwood will be with us every Wednesday night to teach and share his insights on the scripture. Pastor Rudowski is a gifted teacher and I am certain that it will be a blessing for all of us that participate. Our Wednesday schedule for this year is included in this newsletter.
Please continue to pray for our staff and lay leaders as we assume extra responsibilities in this interim time, and pray for God's light to shine upon us as we begin to seek a new pastor to join us in mission at Prince of Peace.
In Christ,
Pastor Jonathan

First Communion at Prince of Peace
As Lutherans we love the Word and the Sacraments. We believe that we receive God's grace through them. First Communion is your chance to explore with your child what it means to receive God's grace through the Sacrament of Holy Communion. This is an important milestone for your child.
First Communion Class
Spring Session 2013
Saturday March 9 at 9:30-11 am at POP
Saturday March 16 at 9:30-11 am at POP
Children receive First Communion:
Saturday or Sunday March 16 & 17 in worship.
Please sign up by March 3.
This is a wonderful opportunity for your family to go deeper into your faith formation together and for your child to receive communion for the first time. First Communion materials are geared for 1st - 3rd graders, but if you as a parent feel that your child is ready earlier, or if your student is older than 3rd grade and wants to receive First Communion, talk to Pastor Jonathan and we will work to accommodate you.

News from the
POP 50th Anniversary
Celebration Committee:
Our committee had their first meeting in March 2012 to begin planning our celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Prince of Peace. The first order of business was locating a place to host our celebration and finding a theme that would depict our past history and the years to come:
Please Save the Date
Saturday, November 2nd, 2013
for a wonderful evening at the Oasis Center.
Our Anniversary Theme: A Firm Foundation-
Celebrating 50 years of Prince of Peace.
Our celebration will begin with a Lenten Devotional compiled by Pastor Tom Stroeh. Pastor Tom writes, "Since this is the year we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the organization of Prince of Peace Church, I thought it might be interesting to assemble written experiences and stories from my 34 1/2 years as pastor of the church to be used in a Lenten devotional booklet. At the conclusion of each daily meditation, there are questions to consider for the reader's reflection. It's my hope that during the Lenten season members will be able to set aside some time each day to find a quiet space, engage in conversation with God, learn some history about Prince of Peace, and appreciate more fully the saints who have gone before us."
Watch for future Anniversary Celebration events in the newsletter and bulletin.

P
We've made a small change that will make it easier
for you to send us your prayer requests.
Our subscriber list has continued to grow over the years for the email prayer chain. We have recently had some issues with our current method of sending email prayer requests. Consequently, we have decided to utilize a new format for our prayer request emails using the same technology as our newsletter. We are making the shift for several reasons: - We are using an email program called "Constant Contact" for our newsletter. The program helps us to have a more consistent list of those who want to participate in prayer requests and other emails.
- It gives the user the ability to opt in and out of the emailing list on their own and update or change their email preferences.
- Most critically, certain email providers are blocking emails from "popluther" because our prayer request emails are flagged as spam due to the long list of emails embedded in the requests. Using Constant Contact should eliminate this issue and allow us to continue to grow the number of people that receive our prayer requests.
If you have a prayer request please send it to prayers@popluther.org or call the church office (513-683-4244).
If you have any questions please contact
Pastor Jonathan or Cary Rohrer.

 A Look at What's Happening in
Missional Communities:
Vamonos! was started with the knowledge that 'our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God'
(1 Corinthians 6:19). Vamonos! seeks to encourage relationships with each other and our Father through regular times of fellowship and prayer and, of course, by moving and dancing at ZUMBA � fitness classes. What better time to take care of our bodies than in February, Heart Health Awareness Month!Inactivity is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. However, exercise helps improve heart health, and can even reverse some heart disease risk factors. A person who exercises often and vigorously has the lowest risk for heart disease, but any amount of exercise is beneficial. Studies consistently find that light-to-moderate exercise is even beneficial in people with existing heart disease. Note, however, that anyone with heart disease or cardiac risk factors should seek medical advice before beginning a workout program. Getting moving at Zumba Fitness classes is a great way to take a first step and start moving to improve your heart health. Take the class at your own level...we have participants from their teens to their late 60's. If Zumba isn't for you, that is fine. Just get moving! Go for a walk...Take the stairs instead of the elevator...park further away in the parking lot, just get moving! Vamonos! What you should know: Risk Factors for Heart Disease: - High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Cigarette Smoking
- Diabetes
- Poor Diet and physical inactivity
- Overweight / Obesity
Warning Signs of Heart Attack in WOMEN (less likely to have chest pain): - Jaw, neck and shoulder pain
- Nausea, indigestion, stomach pain
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Unusual fatigue
Warning Signs of Heart Attack in MEN: - Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness
- Cold sweat
February Vamonos! Events:
Friday, Feb 15 at Karen Skarda's home (7 pm):

POP Kids Update
a ministry of Prince of Peace
Silent Auction: Thank you Prince of Peace for your continued support of POP Kids through our Silent Auction!
We raised $5000 for the school! Everyone had a part and we are so very grateful! We had donator's, solicitors, bidders and raffle ticket buyers! Thanks also to Loveland's Jett's pizza (yum!!) who provided pizza for the Thursday night workers and last minute bidders. Since we work on such a tight budget so that we are affordable to all, these funds help us to provide enrichment programs such as the Museum Center and large items like the laminator and the playset. We are truly grateful! --------------------------------------------------------
Do you know that we encourage our children to give back when it's their birthday?
As an option for celebrating birthdays at school, we ask that the children bring in a donation to the food pantry or donate a book. At this age, it is hard for them to think outside of "ME" but it is planting the seed. Kay Napier is kind enough to be our "thank you" writer to the children if they give a donation to L.I.F.E.
--------------------------------------------------------
Thank you, Pastor Grant!!
Grant has spent the past 6 years almost every Tuesday morning and afternoon leading God's Time with our children in the sanctuary. The children love their time with him and we will miss him greatly! Maybe you will see some of them at OSU in 15 years!
--------------------------------------------------------
 It's that time again!
Registration for the 2013-2014 school year. If you have or know a 2-1/2 year old to 5 year old, POP Kids is a loving, Christian preschool that will ultimately prepare children for kindergarten. I love the newsletter format so you can see just a snap shot of the fun things we do. However, a tour is the best way to see first-hand what we do on a daily basis. Angie Seiller, Program Manager |

Closing Thoughts from our President
February is being ushered in with some of the coldest winter weather Cincinnati has seen in recent years. The cold temperatures have not slowed things down at Prince of Peace! There are many ways to get involved in the life of the church which is evidenced by all the articles and announcements that precede this note. You are warmly invited to prayerfully consider how you are being lead to serve in ministry with others from our church family. Perhaps one of the most powerful recent examples of being lead and guided by God is Pastor Grant's decision to accept a call to serve at Jacob's Porch, OSU's campus ministry. I know you join me in wishing the very best to the Eckharts as they embark on this new call from God. As I write this, we are in the midst of preparing to say goodbye to Pastor Grant, Tammy and Grayson by hosting over 400 folks in the PLC on Sunday, Jan. 27th. Thank you for your love and support of the Eckhart's! We have never hosted such a large event at Prince of Peace and as we make history, there may be some glitches. Staff and leadership have worked hard to make this a meaningful and enjoyable event and we thank you in advance for your understanding if we do experience any snafus! Thank you too for the incredible generosity that you have shown to Pastor Grant and his family. As we look ahead to the Lenten season and beyond, your leadership is working to have some guest preachers for worship to help Pastors Jonathan and Ken out during this interim time. Our Call Committee, under the leadership of Steve Riedell, has begun meeting but this process is lead by God's will for us so putting a timeline on filling the Associate Pastor position is difficult to do. Please know that the call committee will be diligent in discerning God's will for this church! The Building Committee has been patiently waiting for our design build firm, VSWC, to complete the bidding process on our building plan. Bids have been received and now the hard work of determining how to best use the funds we have with the actual costs of building are in process. We hope to be calling a special meeting of the congregation later in February with a final construction cost for your approval. The Mission Investment Fund (MIF) requires this final congregational vote before they will give their final approval to our financing package. Dirt could start to move by early spring if all things fall into place with MIF and the contractors' availability. Ash Wednesday begins the Lenten season. Once again, you are invited to participate in fellowship with one another for our Wednesday soup suppers (begin on 2/20). The suppers will be followed by a short prayer/vespers service and the opportunity to have a class with Pastor Pete Rudowski, a retired senior pastor from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kenwood. There is also the famous Chili Cook-Off coming up. So, for some great fun and fellowship, plan to be there! Please take a look at what is up with our missional communities too for other opportunities to be a part of the exciting ministries at Prince of Peace. Prayer has always been an important part of life at Prince of Peace. Consider joining the prayer team as we enter into Lent. The team meets the first Sunday of the month (please see the info in this newsletter). We have many members that are in need of your prayers as they grieve the loss of loved ones or seek healing for physical ailments, broken relationships or injustices that may have been heaped upon them. Your prayers are felt by those in need and most appreciated! Thank you for being faithful with your prayer life whether done with the prayer team or in the quiet of your home or wherever and whenever you are lead to pray! May the good Lord be your leader and guide in the coming days and weeks. With a thankful heart for all that you do, Kathy Weimer |
