Demands on our attention are endless. But whether the demands are due to life responsibilities, a night out with friends, a get together with family, or another hour scrolling social media we can still feel strained. God has a word for you in your joy and in your need.

We will rest in silence, give our attention to the one who always attends to us, listen with our hearts for God's voice, and share with God what is on our hearts and minds.

Please join us on Wednesday, August 19 at 6:30 p.m. for evening prayer.

Sunday School Survey

Dear Prince of Peace Families,

The start of a new Sunday School year is quickly approaching, and we are excited to welcome everyone back for another year of learning, growing in faith, and building friendships together!

As we prepare for the coming year, we want to hear from you. Your feedback is invaluable as we plan programs, schedules, and activities that best support the needs of our children and families.

Please take a few minutes to complete our Sunday School Family Survey. Your responses will help us better understand what is important to your family, what is working well, and how we can continue to strengthen our Sunday School ministry. Whether your family has participated for years or you are considering joining us for the first time, we would love to hear your thoughts.

Our hope is to create a welcoming, engaging, and meaningful faith formation program where every child can grow in God's love and every family feels connected and supported.

Please complete the survey by Sunday, August 16th. Your feedback will help us finalize our plans before Sunday School begins this fall.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and we look forward to a wonderful year together!



Blessings,

Lorraine Lavery

Confirmation

Dear Parents and Families,

We are excited to announce the beginning of a new Confirmation class at Prince of Peace! We invite all students entering 7th grade and older, along with their parents, to join us for an informational meeting to learn more about this meaningful faith formation opportunity.

To help us choose a meeting time that works for as many families as possible, please complete the Google Form linked below. You may select all of the dates and times that you would be available to attend. We will do our best to schedule the meeting at the time that is most convenient for the greatest number of families.

Confirmation is a time for youth to explore their faith, ask questions, build relationships, and grow in their understanding of God's love and their place in the life of the church. Throughout the program, students will learn about Scripture, Lutheran beliefs and traditions, worship, service, and what it means to live out their faith each day.

The informational meeting is for both parents and students and will provide an overview of:

• The Confirmation program and curriculum
• Meeting dates and expectations
• Service and fellowship opportunities
• Important dates for the year
• Time for questions and discussion

Please complete the Google Form by Sunday, August 16th. Once responses have been received, we will announce the meeting date and time.

We look forward to beginning this faith journey with your family and welcoming a new Confirmation class!
