New Fall Schedule Coming!
|
Starting Sunday, September 8, as we begin our fall schedule, Peace has some exciting new plans. We will begin a new schedule that we believe will be energizing for the whole congregation.
Over the last year we experimented with having only one service on Sunday mornings and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. People have commented on how great it feels to have a full sanctuary, how the singing seems much stronger, and how great it is to get to meet people who usually attend a service time different from their own. This unified schedule also allowed us to try some unique things with faith formation and service projects.
So, starting this fall we will make this a regular practice. There will be only one worship service on Sunday mornings. We will worship together at 9:00 a.m. followed by fellowship and faith formation activities. Sunday School, bible studies, adult forum and other things will all begin at 10:00 a.m.
Wednesdays will also see some exciting new changes. We will continue to have our after-school program known as “Kids Club” for Pre-school through 5
th
grade from 3:15 to 5:00 p.m. This will be followed by a light meal time from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. At 6:00 p.m. we will have a contemporary-style worship service (all through the program year). We think this will be a great option for anyone who participates in our other Wednesday activities and for families and individuals who have schedule conflicts on Sunday mornings. Following worship we will have Confirmation classes, choir practice and several other activities.
We are all very excited about this new schedule and really looking forward to the great opportunities it will give us for growing the congregation in faith, worship and fellowship.

You may have heard or read that money was stolen from the Link’s RibFest this year. The Link recently reported, “Our event insurance covered $5,000 and thanks to the generosity of community members, donors and to community foundations, we were able to recapture the full amount! We are in the process of developing a money handling procedure with the board in order to present any such incident in the future.”
