LITTLE POPPERS (Birth to pre-Sunday School & Parents class )

March 4, April 1 & May 6

We are excited to invite you to a new ministry beginning Sunday, March 4 at Prince of Peace.  Little Poppers is a ministry for the youngest of God's children, birth to pre-Sunday School and their parents.  Little Poppers will meet monthly and seeks to help families make the most of these fragile, vulnerable, exciting, and very exhausting years of parenting. 

Little Poppers will be an opportunity to ...

…build a community of support among families with young children,

…share and practice ways to pass on faith in Jesus, and

…give parents and child an opportunity to just enjoy being together

We are looking for some ideas to decorate a space for this ministry.  If you have an idea, or would like to help with this ministry, please call Cathy at 895-4440.

Workcamp

Q:  Why should I go to workcamp?

A:  Because you’ll meet amazing people from all over the country while doing God’s work.

Q:  What good would I be?—I’m not a carpenter or painter.

A:  All skill levels welcome—even no skill level welcome.  We learn as we go, and there are amazing adults to help us whenever we need it.

Plus, workcamp is not about the work . . . it’s about making the difference in the lives of others.

Q:  Who can I talk too to learn more about workcamp?

A:  Dewey Severson, Bill LaRue, Peter Petersilie, Rick Jackson, and about 30 of our upperclassman who have attended workcamp.
