Welcome to our new pastor, Jason Steffenhagen!
If you haven’t met him yet, please take a few minutes after worship on Sunday to introduce yourselves.
You’re all invited to a bonfire (wiener roast and potluck), games and conversation following church on May 22nd in the outdoor worship area, weather permitting. This will be a time to get to know Pastor Jason, Michelle and their boys. Use this link to register your attendance and tell us how you can help.

Is there a graduate in your family?
Let us know so we can celebrate with you! Send us a (digital) photo of your graduate along with the name of their school and plans for the future. Send them right away if possible but, please, no later than May 29. We’ll gather these together for a special email in early June and a recognition of all our graduates on Sunday, June 5.
May is one of those months with 5 Sundays
This is your opportunity to help Peace Church chip away at the principal on its mortgage. You may choose to contribute to Fifth Sundays online (go to the Participants page of our website, note the ‘Donate’ area, log into Simple Church, and click the Fund dropdown to select Fifth Sunday). Or if you prefer, put a check in the plate on Sunday or mail one to the church office with ‘5th Sunday’ written in the memo line. Thank you!

The next Good Neighbor Meal is coming up on May 14. Please use the new, updated link here to check that no one who signed up with the old link got left off when the new one was created. The link is also being updated on the Connections and Partnerships page of our website.
