Hey friends, 

“JESUS IS LIFE!!!!!!!” We kicked off our 3 week J-O-Y series as we talked about what it means and what it looks like to Love Jesus. The Praise band led us to worship Jesus, and we received Jesus’ gifts of grace through communion! It was a beautiful Father’s Day weekend, and it was a real joy to worship with you! Replay worship here.  

This weekend, we’ll sing some classic hymns, and I’ll share the message. We’ll study some of what the Bible says about Loving Others, and we’ll ask Jesus to help us Love Others like He loves them. Throughout June, we’re featuring the various ways you can Love Others at Lincoln Elementary School.  

Want to find more ways to Love Others? Check out the most urgent recurring serving team needs here. 

Want to help kids feel loved and help them know Jesus’ love? Another great way to Love Others is to support our Vacation Bible School on July 29-31! We're looking for 2-3 people who can help prepare some of the crafts - you can do this from home or at POP. Email Jennifer if you're available. You can also purchase supplies from our Amazon Wish List. It's not too late to bring your kiddos to VBS! Sign up here.

This weekend, Pastor Matt will be away performing a wedding for his daughter, Faith! Pray for Pastor Matt and Dawn, Faith and Matt, as well as Hope as they celebrate this love in their family! 

And then after this weekend, Pastor Matt will tag back in as my family and I will be away for a few weeks at the lake cottage. Please pray for our family rest time.

“What God gives, we share.” This simple slogan has guided our family of 6 over the years to share within our family AND far beyond our family with people we know as well as people we have never and will never meet. We share time and attention, we help and volunteer, and we also give financially in planned and proportional ways as well as over-and-above, spontaneous ways, responding to others’ needs as they come. It is our JOY to live generously and to lead a generous church like Prince of Peace. Thank you for how you Love Others by sharing your time, talents, and treasures as God leads you. Give a one-time or recurring offering here.

See you this weekend!
