Announcements
Advent Sundays
For the Sundays in Advent (Nov 29, Dec 6, 13, 20) we will bring a little levity to the celebration of Jesus' birth this Christmas with a mockumentary-style video series called “The Glory of Christmas.” This is the story of a rag-tag bunch of church members who set out to perform a Christmas play, and the director who tried his hardest to just keep it all together. Get a closer look inside the lives of the director and the actors playing Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, and a wise man. Each actor feels they're ill-equipped to portray their assigned characters, reminding us that those who were part of the original Christmas story were flawed people, just like the rest of us. Sundays at 10:30 am or on Facebook Live at https://www.facebook.com/princeofpeacelcms/live
Advent Wednesdays
For the three Wednesdays in Advent we will share thoughts and videos based on the song: “What Child Is This?” We will look at various characters in the Christmas story and use their ponderings about the Christ Child to help us in our understanding of Jesus. Please note that because of COVID-19 there will NOT be the traditional in person services on the Wednesday evenings in December. Instead, the services will be recorded for Facebook Live at 11:30 am at Prince of Peace on Wednesdays December 2, 9, 16. Should you wish to be present for the recording, you are invited to join us. Otherwise, the services will be available on Facebook Live in the afternoon and evening for viewing from your home: https://www.facebook.com/princeofpeacelcms/live
