Dear Prince of Peace Family,

Our search committee has been working diligently. It will be our pleasure to host DCE Beth Agner and her family on the weekend of April 9 – 10. Beth is a candidate for our Minister to Children, Youth, and Families position. Make plans now to be present at one of the weekend services as Beth will be here to meet you. We really want to give Beth and her family a warm Prince of Peace welcome.

Please use the link below to see an article recently published about Beth in the Concordia University – Irvine Alumni Magazine.

Back in 1962 on Sunday, April 8th, the Greater West Springfield Lutheran Church (soon to be named Prince of Peace Lutheran Church) held its first worship service in the Keene Mill Elementary School. We will celebrate our 60th Anniversary with cake after each service! We will have more celebrations through out the year so keep an eye out for future announcements! 

The Board of Servant Leaders (BoSL) Nominating Committee invites annual nominations for the BoSL. Nominations will be accepted through April 17, 2022. Election of BoSL members will occur on June 12 during the Voters’ Assembly meeting. Qualifications for membership, BoSL responsibilities, and nomination forms are available via e-mail (Jon.Straw@poplc.org). Consent by the nominee is required. Self-nomination is acceptable.

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church held the Baby Bottle Campaign from 23 January to 20 February. POPLC collected a total of $3,170.94! The collected funds have been delivered to the Sanctity of Life Ministries and will be used to provide free and compassionate care to women facing unplanned pregnancies through pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, peer counseling, and parenting classes. Thank you all for helping SLM with its vision, which is to affirm, "Life in Christ.... Life in the Womb."  

We continue to pray for all who are suffering in Ukraine. If you would like to participate in the relief efforts, go to the Lutheran World Relief site to give. We continue to lift up the entire situation in our prayers.
