Sunday School Classes:
App Sunday School Class Curriculum: Being Human. This class has started a new video series by Jo Frost and Peter Lynas. It is a riveting exploration of the cultural stories shaping the world we live in, as we seek biblical answers to the question, ‘What does it mean to be human?’ If you’re unsatisfied by or worried about the post-truth, you-do-you narratives that are common these days, this six-part video series will reorient you to God’s good and beautiful plan – and Jesus, our perfect model – for Being Human. This group meets in the Grappling Zone lobby at 11am 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-Person 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: The youth will be serving dinner as part of the Trivia & Karaoke Night fundraiser on Saturday, July 20th, and need to be there from 4-8pm. The youth will also take their annual trip the lake on Monday, July 22nd, 4-9 p.m. Please send your youth with $5 for dinner.
Upcoming Sermon Series: Proverbs: Walking in Wisdom: What does it mean to be wise? Is it just about intelligence combined with experience? What is the source of the best wisdom the world has ever known? The book of Proverbs answers these and other questions about this most valuable of assets that leads us to the abundant living Jesus offers to us. We’ll explore this book and discover what TRUE wisdom looks like so we can walk in it all the days of our lives. This sermon series will run from August 4—September 1. Join us and invite friends!
Prayer for Schools in 2024 Planned! Peace Church has volunteered to join hundreds of other Christians across Pearland and Alvin to pray for our schools as kids and teachers prepare to resume classes soon. Our great ministry partner, Modern Acts, has organized the prayer walk again this year on Sunday, August 4th, from 3-5 p.m. We will meet with folks from the other churches for a brief rally at Pearland Jr. High South (4719 Bailey Road) at 3 and head to our assigned school, Silverlake Elementary, to pray at 4. Please sign up on the bulletin board or let Pastor Scott know you can help with this great way to bless our community in prayer!
