Explore God - Join The Discussion!

Explore God - We All Have Questions.

Have you seen the signs and billboards around Chicago and the suburbs? Explore God is a community initiative to encourage people to learn more about God in a very personal and real way.

Peace is participating in this amazing community outreach by hosting a discussion group on Monday evenings in February from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
This discussion group is a study on Knowing God. This opportunity is open to everyone - whether you are new to the Christian faith or have been a long-time Christian - we all have questions. It's also a great opportunity to bring a friend who has questions or learn how to initiate and engage in faith conversations with others. Coffee and light refreshments are served. For more information, please contact Katherine Richards: [email protected].

Sewing supplies will be provided. If you want to purchase a blanket kit (55" x70"), JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, and Michael's has a great selection of kits and/or fleece material. A devotion and light refreshment will be shared. Please let Nancy Ewert know if you will attend this Outreach event: [email protected].
