Ever thought of leaving your life with your family? What a legacy!

We will start our "Writing your Memoirs" class this Monday night from 7-9 P.M. in room 24. It's not too late to sign up, but Arla Albers would like to know if you are coming so she has enough supplies. You don't HAVE to attend every week, but it's our intention that we will meet each week (except holidays, of course.) If you can't make it on Mondays but would still like to do this, let Arla know....maybe we can change the night of the class or change it to a day class, if that works for you. Email her at Arlafp1@gmail.com . Leave your family something to remember, your life in a "book". We will have great fun and you will be so glad you came to class!

The total cost for the year is $10 for class materials. To register, please email Arla Albers and mention "MEMOIRS" in the subject line.

WOW Wednesday Mornings

Starts Wednesday, September 18, at 9:30am in the Fellowship Hall .

Grow Together with Women of the Word (WoW) Wednesday mornings! Our fall kickoff is September 18 at 9:30 am. Gather in the Fellowship Hall for singing, fellowship, and an introduction to our two NEW study groups for fall!

Yvette Moy will be our featured speaker for the morning!

We have two new studies for fall!

Michelle Schiffner and Christy Brown will lead "Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story" by Angie Smith. This video-based study covers the people, places, and promises of the Bible, tying them together into the greater story of Scripture. Experience the Bible as a whole as you gain clarity and confidence in your understanding of Scripture!

Jennifer Gross will lead "The Spirituality of the Cross: The Way of the First Evangelicals," by Gene Edward Veith, Jr. As a young man, the author explored many kinds of spirituality--including Buddhism--and then found what he was looking for in the faith of Lutheran Christians. If it's been a while since Confirmation or if you didn't grow up in a Lutheran context, this study will deepen your understanding of God's grace and ground you in the beauty of Lutheran spirituality.

Faith Shapers Women's Book Group

Starts Thursday, September 12, on zoom.

All women are invited to check out Faith Shapers, PoP's book discussion group for women, now in its 18th year!

Faith Shapers meets once a month on Zoom to discuss a reading selection or book. You are welcome to attend one, some, or all meetings, as your schedule and reading interests allow.

We kick off the school year with a selection from the book Devotional Classics, "Morning Prayer" by John Baillie, p. 108, on Thursday, September 12, at 7:00 pm on Zoom. This devotional excerpt takes less than 30 minutes to read, helping us ease into a busy fall.

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
