What's Happening at Prince of Peace
Friday, January 7, 2022
|
|
30+ years ago, I received an invitation to join the staff of a Bible camp in Montana and, though I was eager to accept, I had no idea how much this would change my life in the years to follow. Initially, the invitation offered admission into a community that offered adventure. Subsequently, I discovered a place of true transformation, re-creating me as I recreated, a move into the mountains that resulted in God moving into me.

Come & See Worship Series
Begins Sunday, January 9
|
Eyes wide open, we step into this new year with an invitation to “come and see.” Using John’s gospel as our guide, this is an opportunity for each of us to experience Jesus for ourselves. Over the course of the coming two months, we’ll follow where Jesus leads, we’ll see the signs Jesus offers, we’ll listen as Jesus teaches and we’ll come ever closer to knowing the God in whom we believe.

The busy Advent & Christmas season arrived in expected fashion, but the planning and preparation has really paid off, allowing for a manageable pace which leaves space to live more deeply with the promises made real in the coming of Jesus. Amen for that!
