Volunteer Opportunities

I am so very proud and excited for all of you that have been participating in our Wednesday night discussions lately. We have all thought of some great opportunities to be a blessing to those around us. Included is a list of opportunities to get involved that have already brainstormed. Please feel free to comment and add any other ideas that you have thought of.

I can't wait for us to get together to share the joys and sufferings, the good things and the challenges that we go through while we bless others. Remember that we will be meeting the second Wednesday of the month to encourage each other and share the stories of being a blessing to those around us.

Don't forget that even though it is important that we are involved in the "bigger picture" we also need to be aware that the bigger picture includes being a blessing to our friends and family that don't know God's grace and love.

I am so excited to be involved with a group of people that gets so amped up about serving others. I have not seen this level of enthusiasm when it comes to blessing people. You are all amazing and I am personally blessed just being a part of this group and I can't wait to serve alongside many of you!

God Bless,

Ken III

Becoming an impact in our community

There has been a growing wave with churched and un-churched alike to make a difference in their community. People are coming out in droves to help their community with walk-a-thons, cleaning up their streets, etc. Prince of Peace church wants to build it's outreach to the community so that if for some unforeseen event we were to leave, the community as a whole would feel that they lost an integral part of themselves. How can we as a church and a community reach out to those around us so that we are part of the web in our community.

Please take this opportunity to brainstorm so ideas that we can start in implement in our outreach to Mentor and Lake county. We are looking for tangible ideas that we can start right away, and even grandiose ideas that we will need work and time to get there. The most important thing to think about when brainstorming, is what does our community need? Think about the children, the adults, etc and what they need. Also, think outside the bun, or the church rather. We need to be a church that will GO into the neighborhood rather than wait for them to come to us. Any ideas and suggestions would be great.
