Sunday School Classes:
App Sunday School Class NEW Curriculum: Lyrics of Life: A Psalm for Every Situation
We sometimes feel like we need to curate our emotions when we talk to God. But God wants us to come to him honestly, no matter what we are feeling or going through. Join Bible teacher Lisa Harper as she teaches from the book of Psalms, looking at the variety of circumstances faced by followers of God. In this eight-session series, we learn how to find comfort in any situation based on this songbook of the people of God. Join us for this great new study on Sundays at 11:15 a.m. in the sanctuary!
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!

Summer Food Challenge is Over! The total number of pounds of food donated through August 31st from Peace is 1,127 lbs, whereas Southminster has contributed 1,420 pounds for a combined total of 2,547 pounds. Overall, the church with the lead in the lbs/person ultimate battle is Peace with 2.59 lbs/person, with Southminster just behind us at 1.66 lbs/person. So, the winner of the Soup Can Bowl trophy remains…..Peace Church! But what is even better? No matter what, our community wins when we bring much needed food to the food pantry!
“The Chosen” Small Group Resumes Join us as we resume small groups on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Rick and Sherry Conrad are leading a group discussing season 5 of The Chosen TV series about the disciples at Linda Cook’s house (707 Maple Branch Lane). All are invited! See you then!
New Sermon Series Coming Soon: Lord Teach Me to Pray: Why We Worship: Worship is a central act of every Christian community and should be a priority for every Christian. The regular rhythms and patterns of worship allow us to commune with God and with one another in a transformative experience rarely found outside the church. But why do we worship the way we do? What is the point of the rhythms and patterns of worship? And how do they reflect the mission and overall vision of Peace Church? We’ll dive into these questions in this series that is also part of our annual Partnership Renewal Campaign. Pastor Scott is also challenging the congregation to make 100 invitations to people outside the church to join us for worship. We’ll signify each invitation with a stone placed into the vase in the front of the sanctuary. Join us and let Jesus teach us to pray in worship HIS way!! September 14th – October 26th, 10 a.m. on Sundays
Discipleship Triad Groups Planned this fall! As a special way to grow in our faith and grow closer to each other, we are adding a new discipleship opportunity this fall during our partnership campaign. Triad groups are groups of 3-4 people that meet once a week (hopefully in person, but maybe online) to pray together, encourage each other, share scripture, and work on personal spiritual growth goals. More information will be emailed soon. Groups will meet starting the week after September 14th. Sign up to join a group today!
Mark your calendar for Drive Through Prayer & Food Drive! We’ll have another one of these great outreach and mission events on Saturday, September 13th, from 10am—12pm. Please plan to come and help hold signs with positive messages and invite people to donate food and receive prayer!
