What's happening at PoP this Weekend!

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church
PoP Church Newsletter for 20 February 2026
The Big Relief

The Big Relief

Lenten Series Starts Sunday

The world is a pressure cooker. We crave relief from the treadmill of demands that only speeds up. We crave relief from regret, rejection & grief that never go away. What we ultimately need is grace. The grace of God represents an alternative to all of the ways we try to find relief on our own. Grace is The Big Relief at the heart of the Christian faith – one-way love with no strings attached. It's real relief to the weary and worn-out among us.

Join us each Sunday between now and Easter, and click the button below for the first week's study & discussion guide. Our hope is that all our Life Groups will use these resources -- if you're not part of a Life Group yet, let's talk about finding one for you!

Lenten Evening Prayer

Lenten Evening Prayer

Wednesdays 7pm

Join us for a serene Evening Prayer service at Prince of Peace Church.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the day and find a moment of tranquility in our beautiful candlelight service. This is a time for quiet reflection, spiritual nourishment, and the sharing of Holy Communion. We are using the moving service order from "Unfailing Light," led by the harmonious blend of piano, violin, and cello. The music will guide us through a journey of peace and contemplation.

What to Expect:

  • Candlelight Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in the warm and calming glow of candlelight, creating a space for peace.
  • Musical Reflection: Experience the power of music with our talented musicians, bringing the service to life with piano, violin, and cello.
  • Holy Communion: Participate in the sacred act of Holy Communion.
  • A Message for Lent: Hear a thoughtful message from Pastor Nick.

Come and experience a moment of peace and reflection at Prince of Peace Church. We look forward to welcoming you.
