If you have any questions or want to get involved in anything you read about below, don’t hesitate to ask me or call or text Pastor Scott’s phone at (936) 520-7711.  And if there is ever anything at all we can do for you, please just ask!

Sunday School Classes:

App Sunday School Class Curriculum: The Reason For God.  This class is using a video series by Timothy Keller called, “The Reason for God.”  This six-session small group Bible study captures live and unscripted conversations between Tim Keller and a group of people to address their doubts and objections to Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, and Scripture, Keller and the group explore the truth of Christianity. This group meets in the Grappling Zone lobby 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:   This Sunday, April 27th, 5-7 p.m., there will be games & discussion at the church.  The following weekend, Sunday, May 4th, 5-7 p.m., the youth will distribute the college care packages they have packed.  Please let Pastor Scott know if your youth can come.  Thanks!

 

Current Sermon Series: Prayers for Provision Praying for God to provide for us is perhaps the most common way we pray.  We often ask God to provide us with health, healing, a new job, safety for our family, or for someone else.  We request God to provide protection for us in danger, or to provide a change of heart for someone to mend a relationship.  Does God always answer those prayers the way we want him to?  Or is it more complicated than that?  There are many examples in scripture of God providing for his people in different ways and we’ll explore many in this series that starts on Easter Sunday, April 20th, as we celebrate the BEST way thing God provided for us, salvation!  This series is running from April 20th—May 25th.  Join us and invite friends!

 

Weekday Small Groups!!  Joins us for one of our small groups on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.!  There are two options.  Rick and Sherry Conrad are leading a group discussing season 3 of The Chosen TV series about the disciples at Linda Cook’s house (707 Maple Lane).  Pastor Scott is hosting a Big Questions Discussion Group on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at Bighorn BBQ.  No question is off limits!  Join one of these groups THIS week!
