Are you new to Prince of Peace? Or maybe you’ve been attending for a little while and would simply like to learn more? We warmly invite you to join us for a Meet Prince of Peace event on Sunday, March 1st, from 9:15–10:15 AM in Room 21.
This will be a relaxed and welcoming time to hear from Pastor Michael Hayes as he shares about our church’s story, mission, and community life. It’s also a great chance for us to get to know you! Some of our staff will drop by so you can put faces to names and feel more at home here.
To help us plan, please let us know if you’ll be attending by emailing Tiffany Sears.
Childcare is available—we have a fully staffed nursery for infants through age 6, and Sunday School classes for older children. You’re also welcome to bring your children with you to the event if that’s more comfortable for you.
We hope you’ll join us!

Are you interested in membership at POP?
Join us for our next Discover Experience
on Sunday, March 8, at 9:15am (Room TBD)
Whether you're considering becoming a member of Prince of Peace or are simply curious about who we are and what we believe, we warmly invite you to join us for The Discover Experience—a meaningful seven-week journey designed to help you explore faith and community.
Each week, we'll dive into essential topics such as Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, God’s Story—and how your story fits into His. It’s a time for learning, reflection, and connection in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.
The journey begins on Sunday, March 8 at 9:15am (Room TBD). While the experience spans seven weeks, we understand that life happens—so don’t worry if you can’t make it to every session. We’ll be happy to work with your schedule.
To sign up or learn more, please contact Tiffany Sears. We look forward to discovering together!

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.

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. Please see Brad Womble if you are interested in helping serve the world in such a special way.

Each month, we will share a resource so you are aware of what is available at Prince of Peace. We encourage you to keep an eye on these updates, as needs can change, and you never know when you, or a friend, neighbor, or family member, might be blessed by one of these services.
Last month, we shared that a variety of mobility aids are available at the church for short-term use, including wheelchairs, shower chairs, walkers, knee scooters, and toilet safety bars. If you are in need of any of these items, please contact Brad.
This month, we would also like to introduce you to Stuart’s Mobile Medical.

Stuart’s Mobile Medical offers sales, service, rentals, and in-home repairs of mobility and medical equipment, including folding and remote-control scooters, walkers, ramps, lifts, wheelchairs, hospital beds, stairlifts, lift chairs, CPAP machines, and portable oxygen.
