Upcoming Events
First Communion Class
Sunday, November 16th at Noon | Peace Fellowship Hall
At Peace we believe that it’s up to each individual family to decide when their child is old enough to take the First Communion Classes. (Personally, Greta had one son take it as a 2nd grader and one son was a kindergartener.) If your child is asking questions about it, participating in worship and classes, seems interested in learning more about it, then your child might be ready! Remember, this is God’s table, not ours and all are welcome. Your child’s understanding of Communion will grow and change as they get older, just like their faith.
Any questions or wonder if your child is ready? Please make sure to reach out to Greta Clouse. RSVP using the Sign-up Genius link so we can plan accordingly. Each child must attend the class with an adult.

Kiley Aidt
Nursery Coordinator: [email protected] Kiley is originally from Bucyrus, Ohio, and moved to Blacklick in 2004 with her husband and high school sweetheart, Aaron. After a long search for a church home, they found Peace in 2014 and immediately felt welcomed by the pastors, staff, vibrant community, and opportunities to serve—especially through the children's ministry. Kiley holds a degree in Business Management from Ohio Dominican University and works as a manager in patient accounting at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She and Aaron have been married for over 20 years and are proud parents to two daughters, Layla (13) and Nora (10). They also honor the memory of their son, Isaiah David, who was born still in 2011 and now rests with the Lord. Much of their time is joyfully spent supporting their daughters’ activities—marching band for Layla and soccer for Nora. As a family, they share a love of sports and often travel to attend games, especially to cheer on their favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals. |
