Blessing of the Pets Day Celebration
WATCH OUT !!
ANIMALS ARE COMING TO PRINCE OF PEACE
On Saturday, October 3rd from 10AM- 1PM, there will be a blessing of the animals at Prince of Peace. Pastor Holliday will lovingly bestow a blessing on your pet. We’d love to see your pets, but could you also bring an item of food such as tuna, brownie mix, corn, coffee, beef broth, and/ or Shop Rite gift cards for the WholeSum pantry. Your hungry neighbors will really appreciate it.
In 2018 one of our beloved members Nancy Hulbrock provided the funds to build a school in Trois Mares, Haiti. We are delighted to tell you that in 2026 in Trois Mares, Haiti hard-working ambitious teenagers with great drive passed their National Exams after grade 9! This qualifies them for further education or better employment. So you see you never know how your gifts can affect future generations. Future Forward for Haiti is presently collecting money for school lunches for children in 3 Haitian schools.
Come worship with us at Prince of Peace every Sunday at 10:15 AM. Then come on down for a lovely coffee hour. We’d love to meet you!
