Nicole's Place is coming to Gloria Dei Church!

In February 2022, the offices of Nicole's Place, a Laurel House satellite that provides support to individuals and families in Eastern Montgomery County who have been impacted by domestic violence, will relocate to Gloria Dei Church.

Gloria Dei Church has been a partner of Nicole’s Place since they opened, and we have collaborated together on the Finding Hope Planning Committee and events.

We are excited for the opportunity to have Nicole's Place here in our building!

Nicole’s Place was named in memory of Nicole Rhoads Peppelman, who was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

"Atheists & Christianity"

We had a great group joining us over the past few months for this intriguing series where we experience a different world for 30 days.

Each time we gather, we will watch a DVD seeing what it's like for someone to experience first-hand a world antithetical to their own existence for one month. Discussion will follow about what we saw. All adults are welcome!

Please contact Betsy Maier at [email protected] for more information.

I pray that you and all of God’s people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.
~Ephesians 3:18-19
