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.

Thank you for your faithful giving. In October, we made up $15,900 of the deficit. We still have a YTD deficit of $64,500. Please prayerfully consider how you can help Prince of Peace continue with His ministries to our community. Blessings, Brad

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!

Please join Pastor Michael and the personnel committee as we gratefully acknowledge and celebrate Linda Harley and Rob Lansing as they achieve their 10-year and 5-year service milestones, respectively, as members of our church staff. Both Linda and Rob are emblematic of the service efforts our staff performs daily. Notably, both are part time but you would not guess it by the time and energy they put forth. From special events requiring hospitality support to worship service support, these two have provided an omnipresent service to the church staff and the congregation. Their value-added contributions to our church community simply cannot be over-emphasized and we are grateful for their unwavering dedication and service to Prince of Peace. Please join us in thanking God for these two faithful and caring staff members.

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.
