Caritas Concert Coming...

Be sure to join us on Saturday, March 2nd at 2pm for a concert of delightful acapella music celebrating love and featuring POP's own Katie Hines. Katie is a member of our Senior Choir and Bell Choir.

Caritas' mission is to share music with the community to benefit people of need. The unique musical organization has partnered with churches and nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities area to help bring awareness and monetary aid to underserved communities.

Ticket sales for this concert will benefit Avenues for Youth, which Prince of Peace has supported for many years and donations will be accepted at the concert as well. Refreshments will be served after the program. We look forward to seeing you there!

Tickets will be sold at the door or can be purchased online at:

Quilter Team Update

The Quilters are busy working on quilts to be donated to those in need. We can always use an extra hand to help "tie" the quilts with yarn - sewing skills are not required. We welcome anyone who would like to join us for a morning of fellowship! We meet at the church from 9 am to noon on the first, third and fifth Wednesdays of each month, September through May. We break midway through each session to enjoy a cup of coffee/tea, a snack and friendly conversation. If you'd like more info, contact Jo Anderle or Carolyn Parker, or just stop by on one of the Wednesdays when we meet.

Reminder: POP March Food Drive Coming...

POP will hold a food drive in the month of March. A CEAP truck will be at POP on Wednesday, March 20th, 4:30-6:30pm, so you won’t even have to get out of your car. CEAP and POP personnel will be on hand to assist. Cash is also accepted.

Any items delivered after March 20th should be put in the CEAP donation bin in the Welcome Center. See HERE for items needed.
