Sunday School Classes:
App Sunday School Class NEW Curriculum: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. We are all busy. Some of us can't remember the last time we rested or even had free time. Our busyness can feel productive but it is a toxic distraction, sapping our spiritual, physical, and emotional vitality. It may seem like we have no choice but to live at a frantic pace, but God has a better path for us. Join pastor and author John Mark Comer in this five-part video series as he addresses one of the greatest threats to our spiritual lives: hurry. This group meets in the sanctuary at 11:15 am on Sundays. Join us and invite a friend!
Adult Acts Class: The Adult Acts class is studying the book “Refresh Your Prayers: Uncommon Devotions to Restore Power and Praise” by Lori Hatcher. Book is available on Amazon or other book retailers. All are welcome to join the class. Vicki Evans is the leader of this class. Adult Acts Class meets every Sunday at 11:15am in the back room at the church.
PeaceKids & PeaceYouth Sunday School: Children (PreK—4th grade) and youth (5th—12th grade) classes meet in-person at the church at 11:15am! We'd love to have your kids join us!
Peace Youth Group Meetings: Our next scheduled youth event is our mission trip to Gatlinburg. We leave on Saturday morning, July 5th. Check your emails from Pastor Scott for a packing list and other details.
Current Sermon Series: Be Still My Soul: Peace Through Prayer! Peace is a fleeting and hard-to-find gift from God in our complicated world. But God desires that we experience the fullness of the peace he seeks to give his children. Angels so often greeted people with peace when they arrived with a message from the Lord. Nearly every time the resurrected Jesus appeared to his disciples, he greeted them with peace. In this series we’ll hear what the Bible has to say about the lasting peace God wants to give us and learn how to pray for it faithfully. This series is running from June 1st—July 20th . Join us and invite friends to experience REAL Peace this summer!
Weekday Small Groups!! Small Groups are taking a break for the summer. Both groups plan to resume in September. Thanks for a great year of small groups!
Vacation Bible School Coming Soon! Mark your calendar and plan to help out with “Yeehaw Vacation Bible School 2025”! Our dates this year are July 25th—27th (Friday & Saturday evenings, Sunday morning). We will need LOTS of volunteers, so look for the sign up sheet and SIGN UP to help TODAY! And if you have any cowboy or Texas themed decorations, please let Pastor Scott know if we can borrow them!
Summer Food Challenge Has Begun! Join us again this summer as we try and help keep the shelves at Christian Helping Hands Food Bank stocked! We’ll do the challenge against Southminster Presbyterian Church in Missouri City to see which church can collect the most food per capita. The challenge runs June—August. Last Sunday, June 22nd, Peace brought in 38 lbs of food with 32 people in attendance, which is 1.19 lbs/person. Southminster collected 107 lbs and 55 people were in attendance on 6/8 and had 107 lbs and 55 people on 6/15, which is 1.95 lbs/person.

Flick and Float Outreach Event at St. Andrews—Thank You! Our Flick and Float Outreach Event on Saturday, June 21st, 7 p.m. was a huge success!
