Why Diapers? Why Now?
Diapers are more than a basic need. They provide health, dignity, and the ability for parents to work and care for their families. Yet 1 in 2 families in our region cannot afford enough diapers, and the need continues to grow.
At Prince of Peace, part of our vision is to Serve the World, and sometimes that begins right here in our own community.
On March 19, from 2:30pm to 6:30pm, we will be collecting diapers here at Prince of Peace, and WGTS 91.9 will be hosting a Sticker Stop during that time. Bring a pack of diapers, meet the WGTS team, grab a sticker, and help us serve local families in a tangible way.
Together, we can turn a simple act into lasting impact.

| | Serving the World in Asia | | |
Prince of Peace has been given the opportunity to participate in the distribution of Bibles, food, and school supplies to families and churches in Asia through Sowers Ministry. Each Bible costs $6 and helps share the Word of God with someone in their native language. Food and school supplies will also be provided to those in need.
If you would like to help, you may donate to the Bible and Food Fund or bring school supplies to the main office by April 1. (Any school supplies are good. There is a big need for markers, crayons, and colored pencils. Money cannot be donated toward school supplies. Money can be donated toward the food and bible fund.) Please see Brad Womble if you are interested in helping serve the world in such a special way.
