Online & In Person Team Meetings: Outreach & Mission Team Meeting—Monday, March 2nd, 7 p.m. Session—Sunday, March 15th, 12:30 p.m.
Sunday School Classes:
New App Sunday School Class Curriculum: The Miracles of Jesus. This class will start a new curriculum on discipleship that will go along with the sermon series that starts on February 22nd. Miracles of Jesus explores all four Gospels with teaching from Jennie Allen, Bianca Juárez, Jada Edwards, and Sadie Robertson. Discover the ways Jesus healed, provided for, calmed, and resurrected the people he encountered. This seven-session study is about believing in the power of God who can accomplish anything. There’s nothing too big or too small for us to bring to him. This class meets in the sanctuary at 11:15 am on Sundays. Join us!
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, March 1st, 5-7 p.m. we will have games and discussion at the church (bring $5 for dinner). Next Sunday, March 8th, we will be playing putt putt. We will NOT have youth group on Sunday, March 15th (due to Spring Break). Please put the date of Saturday March 21st at 4:30pm on your calendars so that we can go support one of our youth group students Tate Williams, who has invited the youth to attend his Eagle Scout Court of Honor at First United Methodist Church Pearland.
New Sermon Series for Lent: LIKE NO OTHER: MIRACLES OF JESUS! Discover the ways Jesus healed, provided for, calmed, and resurrected the people he encountered. This seven-session study is about believing in the power of God who can accomplish anything. There’s nothing too big or too small for us to bring to him. When we take time to learn about the overflowing kindness Jesus demonstrated to all kinds of people through miracles during his time on earth, we realize that he is radically generous, compassionate, and honoring toward all people. This series runs February 22nd – April 5th and includes a daily Lenten devotion. Don’t miss it and invite some friends for the invitation challenge!!
Pastor’s Discretionary Fund Needs Your Help! One of our funds that is NOT part of our yearly budget is the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund. Pastor Scott uses this fund to help when there are people who are in need of financial help and for other expenses that don’t need to be approved by Session because they are not part of the annual budget. This fund is only replenished when people give extra gifts (over and above their regular giving) to provide for these needs. The Pastor’s Discretionary Fund is currently in need of replenishing, so if you can make an extra donation toward the PDF, that would be much appreciated. Please mark your donation “PDF” so that our bookkeeper will put that donation in the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund. Thanks so much for your help.
Weeknight Small Group Resumes! Join us on Tuesdays, at 7 p.m. at the church for this group that will meet during Lent! We will be watching an episode of “The Promised Land”, a comedy show about Moses and the Exodus, and then doing a Bible study about the passages portrayed in the episodes. Join us!
Easter Egg Hunt Planned! On Saturday, March 28th, 3-5 p.m. we will have our annual Easter Egg Hunt at St. Andrew’s apartments across Broadway Street from the church (10000 Broadway). We will need LOTS of candy donations, so please start looking for individually wrapped NON-CHOCOLATE candies to donate and keep and eye out for plans for an egg stuffing party! And please sign up to help with the egg hunt when the sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board. Let’s show some real LOVE to our neighbors at Easter!
Holy Week Activities Planned! Mark your calendar now to celebrate the week before Easter at Peace Church!! Palm Sunday is Sunday, March 29th, 10 a.m. and we will have the “palming” of the cross, and the youth choir will be singing a special song! That will also be a communion Sunday. We will then be celebrating Maundy Thursday is a very special way on Thursday, April 2nd. We will have a potluck dinner at 6, including Pastor Scott demonstrating what the Passover meal was like for Jesus and his disciples. Then at 7 we will have a special immersive worship service including communion and footwashing. Finally, on Sunday, April 5th, we will celebrate Easter Sunday with flowering of the cross and a special youth brass ensemble. Make your plans now to attend these special celebrations around Easter and INVITE folks to join us!!
