Dear Prince of Peace Members and Friends,
Happy Easter to you and yours! This past Easter we celebrated the life of Jesus in powerful ways, and the momentum continues this Easter season. I was reminded that no matter what changes come our way, each year we celebrate the life and work of Jesus. He is our constant every day of every year. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
I am writing to inform you of some important changes in our ministry of helping people to Know God through Worship. As you know, Michael Rossi, our music ministry director, has stepped down to focus on his family. We have a wonderful team of staff and lay leaders to get us through the next few months as we discern where the Lord is leading us in the long-term. Thanks for your continued prayers and support of all involved.
Additionally, last June our church adopted a new vision statement: Prince of Peace builds disciples of Jesus who Know God, Grow Together, and Serve the World. From engaging worship, to baptisms of all ages, to new believers growing in the Word and community, and to serving many people locally and globally, it is encouraging to see our vision coming alive in our midst. I am so grateful that we have a simple and clear path that will keep guiding us toward new growth and more people knowing God’s grace and mercy.
To further this work, the Weekend Worship and Education Ministry Action Team (WEMAT) was formed in the fall of 2023. They were tasked with reviewing how we can best align our weekend worship and education ministries with our vision statement and the Board of Servant Leader’s five critical targets that were established Spring of 2023 (especially #5). They are as follows:
