Sermon Series: My Hometown
My Hometown focuses on Jesus's ministry in his “adult hometown”. We often assume Jesus did much of his ministry in a big city like Jerusalem. What light does it shed to realize so much of what Jesus did was in his small hometown? What does that say to us about our ministry in Gahanna, Ohio? Traditional Worship (Sanctuary) - 9:00am
Contemporary Worship (ConneXions) - 10:30am |

GriefShare
It's time to sign up for our fall GriefShare Class that will be held here at Peace. The first class of the next session is Wednesday, Sept. 11th, 1:00-2:30pm, in the fireside lounge.
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our Care Coordinator, Wendy Slates at [email protected].
