Individuals may now choose whether to wear a mask or not at church events, including larger, public gatherings like Sunday worship.

Kicking Off the Program Year!
Fall Sunday Schedule
As we live into the transitions of this season, here are some things you will notice at church:

– The Sunday schedule will have a rippling circle of gatherings. The Sunday schedule will be something like this: Read more…

Rally Day & Backpack Blessing
04
Aug '22
As we prepare for a new program year, we invite everyone to a special worship service on August 14 giving thanks for the many ministry programs of Peace. Our worship service this Sunday will be familiar, but our space will be a bit different…as we sit “family style” and have table centerpieces celebrating our faith family’s many ways of sharing God’s love with the world. All are also invited to bring a bag or backpack for a special blessing…whether students, teachers, workers, crafters, or anything in between…

Aug '22
Wow! This year has seen the largest financial donation ever to the school supply drive. Our congregation raised $1115 for the students and teachers of Anderson Mill Elementary. Anderson Mill Elementary is a Title 1 school meaning that more than half of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch. If you are able please consider staying after church this Sunday, August 7th for the blessing of the supplies and for their assembly into grade level bags. Any excess funds will go towards purchase of disinfectant wipes and tissue for teachers to use in their classrooms during the year. The supplies will be delivered to the school on the morning of August 9th.
