Weekend Supplemental Meal Program
We currently have a small team packing weekend food for area students every Thursday. We are serving 60+ students each weekend and providing 6 meals each. We are always looking for volunteers to join in this mission! If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Minda Bickley at mbickley@peacegahanna.org.
The link below will give you the list of needed food items. Your donations will help reduce food insecurity in our neighborhood. You can drop off your donations on Sunday morning or during office hours. This food gets packed and distributed weekly throughout the school year. Any donation is greatly appreciated. |
Join a Small Group!
We are excited about several new groups that are forming with upcoming event opportunities. All of our groups are open and are looking for people to join. At Peace, we believe our Small Groups bring people together, provide a place to share life, and allow you to grow in faith together. There are 3 types of Small Groups: Service, Study & Social.
There is a place for you here.
In the Peace community, "all" means all. You're welcome here because of who you are, not in spite of who you are. We are a Reconciling in Christ community, advocating the full welcome and inclusion of all people regardless of sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental ability, race, marital status, age, financial situation, medical condition, citizenship status, ancestry, or religious background.
