Fellowship at Prince of Peace (POP)

The table is the center of family in most homes, so too in the family of Christ.  We are a family that likes to eat together and grow in relationship through fun activities, which include:

Care and Nurturing Among the People of POP

A church is not the walls that create the building, but the people that build our Christian Family. Prince of Peace is truly a Christian family in every sense of the word.  Based on the fellowship activities above, its easy to see how we have fun and get to know one another.  But, it's what we do for one another in our times of need, sharing the joys and concerns of our everyday lives, and when it might be easier to allow someone else to be supportive that make us a family.  Prayer is central to our family - asking for God's guidance and understanding. But we provide care for one another in a variety of ways:

FELLOWSHIP IN THE CHURCH

CHURCH PICNIC – be sure to mark your calendar for June 12!  We will be having a picnic after church.  Fried chicken, drinks and paper products will be provided; please bring a dish to share.  If you have any outside games you’d like to play, please bring them and also a lawn chair.  It is Pentecost Sunday so wear red and dress comfortably as we will be outdoors!  The place – Slate Run Metro Park.  Watch the bulletins for more info.

Thanks to all who helped and attended our Mexican Foods fundraiser on May 15, following worship.  We were able to contribute to the church ‘general’ fund and enjoy tacos, refried beans, etc.  Our next meal following worship will be in July.

We’re still in need of people to sign up for snacks for Coffee Hour this summer.  Please see the signup list on the bulletin board inside the front door.

Watch your bulletin for upcoming dates for Picnic at the Pops, Clippers baseball and a play at Schiller Park.

Committee Members: Thea Coons, Marge Cooperider, Joyce Pombert, Sue Cordell or Sue Myers
