40th Anniversary
A Year of Celebration
Dear Members and Friends,
We are excited to celebrate 40 years of mission and ministry at Prince of Peace.
A lot has happened over these 40 years, but most importantly, a community has formed which cares for one another and reaches out to a world in need.
Click below to read our brochure, which outlines some of our history, announces plans for a year of remembrances, and celebrates what has centered us over these 40 years: a community gathered around Jesus Christ.
We hope you can join us throughout this year of celebration, and we hope that these first 40 years are just a sign of things to come.
Blessings to all of you who have been part of this journey!
