For the month of December, our POP456 meeting will be moved up one week because of the Christmas holiday. Join us in the PLC at 6PM for Christmas themed activities, devotions, and connection as we prepare our hearts and minds for the weeks to come!
Due to many other activities happening in the church, please make sure to drop off and pick up your child at the PLC Gym entrance. All children will be waiting to be picked up in the PLC Gym.
Many hands make light work - join us in the Gathering Space for a treat and a chance to help make our space welcoming and warm for Advent and Christmas.
During our Spark and Sparklers normal meeting time, families are invited to join us as we learn more about the Advent Season. We will conclude our morning by creating a nativity scene that families can take home with them.
Sparklers and Spark will NOT be meeting during this time.
Please RSVP so we have adequate supplies for the Nativity Scenes.
All are welcome to explore the season of Advent together. There will be a light breakfast and activities to help us learn more about the season as we connect with others in a relaxed setting. Join the celebration in the Gathering Space right outside of our Sanctuary.
Join us for an afternoon of fellowship for as much, or as little, time as you can. We will enjoy a meal together as we open the PLC gym and the playground for kids and families to enjoy.

All are welcome at Christ’s Table to be nourished, loved, and forgiven - including children! Prince of Peace wants to celebrate the First Communion of any baptized child who is curious about the meal. It is our goal that all children would receive their First Communion by the end of 2nd grade but some children will receive much earlier and some much later.
It's time for one of the best community events of the year! We hope you'll invite your friends and neighbors and come out for Trunk or Treat! This is a fun event where families from POP and around the neighborhood enjoy a night of silly, spooky fun. Join us for a hot dog dinner and bring an appetite for some sweet treats! Awards will be given for the top trunks in the categories of: Spookiest, Holiest, and Most Creative. Sign up online or on the bulletin board to host a trunk or help with the event. Rain or shine!
