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 |
Each week this summer we will be sharing ways to Grow. Serve. Give. at Peace and in our community.
Here are some opportunities this week:
Grow. Young Adult Bible study starts up again this Sunday, July 28th! Join Amelia at 5pm in the Fellowship Hall.
Serve. Volunteers are always needed for Sunday worship. Join our Welcome Team as a door greeter, coffee crew, or communion assistant.
Sign Up Here to Help!
Give. Back to School supplies are being collected for The Hardy Center and First English. See below for a full list of supplies needed. Contact Greta Clouse for questions.

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.

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.
