Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the congregation, PoP Students bought food for Thanksgiving dinners for FOUR local families through ECHO. In addition, we were able to give each family some extra help, in the form of a Giant gift card for future food needs.

Students split up into groups to make lists and shop at Giant. They then transported all of their purchases back to the church to unload.

Thanks to Jessica Landon for organizing this project, parents and teens for their enthusiastic participation, and Bob, Jessica, and Joseph Landon for making the deliveries to the families.

Bring your favorite dish and spend a morning with good food, fellowship, music, and stories of faith. Celebrate the hope of Christ for every generation, as women of different ages share how God has given them hope. Sign up here to RSVP and let us know what kind of dish you're bringing:

Invite a friend! Free child care is available in our nursery!

You will notice that the permanent door stops on all fire doors have been removed. The fire marshal, during his yearly inspection, stated that we would not pass inspection again unless the stops were removed. These doorways are in hallways, fellowship hall and downstairs. It will take a little effort to get used to this but it is necessary. Thanks so much for your understanding.

Prince of Peace is participating in giving to Bethany House needs in the form of a Christmas Tree giving ornament this year. Please take an ornament (or two or more). Purchase whatever is on the ornament, then bring it back to PoP UNWRAPPED. Please put items WITH THE ORNAMENT ATTACHED (so we know to which family it goes) under the tree no later than Dec. 11. Items will then be taken to Bethany House. Arla.Albers@poplc.org

Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to think about gifts for the special people in your life. Take a look at the quilted items the Holy Comforters group worked on through the year. The purpose of this annual fundraiser is to raise money for supplies needed to sew quilts for Lutheran World Relief (LWR) which are sent all over the world to areas in need. We are told that some of the people actually use these quilts on dirt floors as mattresses! They are thrilled to get our quilts.

Our diligent group of ladies delivered 147 LWR quilts and 34 children’s quilts to several organizations this past season. Procedures for purchasing the quilted items are posted at the display area. Thanks in advance for your generosity.

We will also be raffling off a King Size cream color quilt. Tickets are 1 for $5, 3 for $10, and 7 for $20. To purchase tickets for the raffle, put a check for the amount you are buying in the HOLY COMFORTERS QUILT BOX in the office, as well as your filled out ticket(s), please. Make sure to put your phone number as well as your email address on each ticket. (No cash accepted.) Make checks to “Prince of Peace” with “quilt chance” in the bottom left. (Names on tickets must match the name on the check. If you want to buy tickets for others, make sure your name is on it as well as the other person's name.) Drawing will be held on Dec. 16, 2022 for the King Cream Quilt. Winner need not be present to be eligible to win, however, if you win, you must arrange to pick up the quilt no later than Dec. 25th. (It will not be mailed.)

The Holy Comforters will resume quilting for Lutheran World Relief on January 5, 2023, from 9-3 every Thursday through May 1 in room 27. Please consider joining us. We love seeing new faces. Ability to sew is not necessary. If you can tie a knot we can use your help!

In the hallway to the back parking lot, there are "Quiet Bags" for church use; ages 2-3 (yellow bags) and 4-6 (blue bags.) Each has its own appropriately aged reading books, coloring books, crayons, building blocks, weaving cards, and more. These are meant for parents to be able to enjoy the services while your small children are kept busy. You are welcome to use the bags at any time, then return them to the wall hangars when finished. If you have suggestions on anything else that should be put in the bags, please contact Arla.Albers@poplc.org.
