HOME PAGE Church Family Ministries New Exercise Group Okay, if you're like me, you aren't getting enough exercise, or it's raining and you can't walk, or you're just too tired, or you would rather quilt than exercise - any number of reasons why an exercise group at Peace might be a good idea. If you are interested in exercise which will gear itself to those who can't do much to those who can get a great half-hour workout, come to Peace on Mondays and Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. You will learn exercises to help with your balance, help tone up some muscles, and get the heart pumping a little more. We will start the classes on Monday, July 19 at 9:30 a.m. Hope to see you in the Great Room that day!

Anyone who feels the need for a prayer may contact Pastor Marty, Ken Gleesing or the church office (526-2916). This is a great way to develop and grow your prayer life, connect with your church family and deepen your relationship with God.

Roof [Final Cost: $15,700] At our congregational meeting on Sunday, July 12, we voted to replace the two flat sections of our church roof. The roof work is now complete.
