ENDOWMENT GRANTS – Help the Endowment Team use our Endowment Fund as effectively as possible to enhance the mission outreach of Prince of Peace. As the fund’s custodian, the team is looking for ways to help the church ministry in the community. If you would like to offer a suggestion to the Endowment Team or financially contribute, get a request form from the narthex, the church office or the website. A donation of any amount will help immensely and be much appreciated. Recently our endowment made a contribution of $1,000 to the Children’s Museum, $250 to Leathernecks of the North, and $1,000 to Praise in the Pines.
JOLABOKAFLOD – is the tradition of gifting a book to someone on Christmas Eve. I will be hitting the local library book sales/thrift stores to find some good reads. Books will be wrapped and here for the taking after our Christmas Eve service. If anyone else is interested in participating – please feel free. (Please do not purchase new books). [I know it’s early – but I wanted to get it out there for planning purposes]
