Next Sunday, August 18, we will have a special Back to School prayer and blessing for students.

We now offer a designated room for nursing mothers or parents seeking a quiet space for their babies or young children. Located on the right after exiting the main Sanctuary doors, this room is exclusively for your use. Feel free to make use of this facility, and rest assured that a TV will be set up shortly to broadcast the worship service, ensuring you can stay connected while in the room.

Whether you're a recent visitor or have been attending for some time we extend a warm invitation to join us for the Meet Prince of Peace event on Sunday, August 18, starting at 11:30AM in Room 21. Pastor Michael Hayes will provide an informative presentation, offering insights into our church family and its history. We're equally excited to learn more about you - our staff will also be present to introduce themselves and interact with you.  

Let us know if you plan to attend because we will be serving lunch and we want to make sure we have enough. Please RSVP to Tiffany.Sears@poplc.org. Thank you!

Principal Lisa Wentzel Recognized for 25 Years of Service

It is with great joy and appreciation that Pastor Michael acknowledges Mrs. Lisa Wentzel as she attains 25 years of dedicated service to the Prince of Peace Lutheran Pre-school and Kindergarten. This remarkable milestone reflects her service as a teacher of 2 ½, three, four year olds and kindergarteners; and the last five years as the school principal. She has touched countless young formative lives with the love and Christian devotion that the pre-school ministry is known for. Please join Pastor Michael in celebrating this milestone with Lisa. We give thanks to God for sharing Lisa’s gifts with us and for her years of devotion and faithfulness to our Lord and to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and School.

If you are the least bit tech led, the Livestream team needs you! You do not need to be an expert. We have people who will train you. Please contact Jon Gross to volunteer for this invaluable position.

Help us get Jesus out to our community!

We need your support for the 2024-2025 ESL program!   

We are in the planning phase for another year of the English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry— a meaningful service ministry reaching out with God’s love to our immigrant neighbors supporting their attainment of English language skills, and cultural understanding as members of the Prince of Peace community! This is truly a “Serve the World” kind of ministry!  

We are excited about your interest in volunteering to teach or assist in daytime and especially evening classes for this academic year starting in September.    

Please let us know of your interest and drop a line to ESL@poplc.org or call 703-776-0947 to the program coordinator, Mark Rumohr with your questions.  Student registration is coming up rapidly, on 11 September.  Don’t delay—let us know how you want to help.  

You can always bring your ECHO donations to the church and put them in the big white bin in the hallway near the office. MOST NEEDED ITEMS LIST
