Sunday School Classes:
App Sunday School Class NEW Curriculum: Gratitude Is NOT Thanksgiving!
The only appropriate response to the faithfulness and goodness of God is GRATITUDE. In this study, Pastor Jason Turner will convey a biblical understanding of the necessity for authentic gratitude in the life of a faithful follower of Jesus. Jason will explore how we express it to God and communicate it to those through whom God works to bring about His good and perfect will for our lives. 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!

Please RSVP to Pastor Scott’s email if your youth can join the ALS Disc Golf event next Sunday, November 9th from 3-5pm..
“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: Prayers of Praise, Gifts of Gratitude!: How often do our prayer times include MORE time thanking God for his blessings than anything else? Is gratitude a hallmark of your prayer time? Do you even consider how many gifts God has truly given you on a daily basis? We all could work on our “attitude of gratitude” du ring our times of prayer! So let’s make it a priority during this series that runs November 2nd—November 23rd. We’ll be guided by Psalms that were used to help the people of God in ancient Israel to sing their praises to the Lord for all he does. Join us and let’s take our thanksgiving game to a new level! November 2nd—November 23rd—10 a.m. on Sundays

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.
