Donate Your Used Books

You will notice the big green book donation bin in the front parking lot facing Old Keene Mill. Your books will be put back into circulation and the proceeds of the sale will go to help finance the youth trips this Summer. What a great way to share those books that you have loved and bless others with them again.

Bible Distribution Update

Prince of Peace has been given the opportunity to participate in Bible Distribution in Asia this Summer. Each Bible costs $5 and we hope to be able to distribute 1,000 Bibles. We are also collecting funds for food and rice bags for churches in Asia. The cost is $100-$150 per church and we are hoping to bless 8 churches with food and rice bags. Please see Brad Womble if you are interested in helping to serve the world in such a special way. Additionally, we are collecting school supplies to give to the schools in Asia.
