From The Rector Rand Reasoner
To truly know Prince of Peace you must know what things we hold important. The values of our faith community are described below. We strive to hold these values as our own and hope that if you are searching for a community of Christ's people, you will find these values present not only on this piece of paper but in our lives.
We are called to make God the number one priority in our lives. This means coming together on Sunday for corporate worship, fully participating in these services, and offering our lives daily in prayer and thanksgiving so that we may be of service to God in the world. We express our commitment to worship by our Sunday morning attendance, by participation in the Sacraments of Baptism, Marriage, and Burial, by serving at healing and nursing home services, and by taking communion to the home bound. We worship as active members of the Acolytes, Altar Guild, Handbells, Choir, Daughters of the King, Greeters, Health Ministry, Lay Eucharist Ministers, Lectors, Prayer Ministry and Ushers.
We are called to make this world and community a better place for children. We strive to honor our responsibility to young people through Alpha Kids, Boy Scouts, Children's Handbells, Children's Ministry, Confirmation instruction, Jr. Daughters of the King, nursery care, Sunday school education and Youth Ministry for Middle and Sr. High students.
We are called to honest communication, teamwork, support, and love. This is the way our Christian community must operate. Our monthly newsletters, weekly bulletins, verbal announcements, Internet web site, electronic mail system, open committee meetings and occasional forums help keep lines of communication accessible and unrestricted.
We are called to share our faith in Jesus Christ with those who do not know him. Jesus great commission gives us the directive to share the treasure that we have. Our treasure is our faith. We participate in evangelism through advertising, Alpha, Children's Ministry, Convalescent Home Worship, Cursillo, Food Coalition, Poppys, Prince's Players, Rector's Coffees, Sports Committee, Welcome Committee and Youth Ministry.
These values makes us a Christian community. May God who has given us the grace and the will to be God's community give us the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish all this and more.
The current sermons deal with the challenges of money that most Christians face. Practical wisdom is shared on how to keep money from squeezing God out of our day to day financial decisions.
"My daughter, Zoe, and I first came to Prince of Peace when she was entering kindergarten. I wanted her to experience Sunday School and I was looking for a Christian community. I found Prince of Peace to be very welcoming and quick to involve newcomers into various ministries and activities. I am now involved in the counting and usher ministries and Zoe is an active participant in the Bell choir. We are happy to be here!"
