Upcoming evening of Dedication and Prayer

You are invited to participate in a dedication and prayer time plus a "pounding"for The Peace Place on Wednesday September 9 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. The dedication will start around 6:45. Afterward, people can walk around and pray for the center. Anyone can leave as they need. No requirements to stay until 8:00. Refreshments will be served. Come see where we are and pray for what God is doing and will continue to do.

Oh! "What is a pounding," you say? Glad you asked. An old fashioned pounding was a party or gathering to honor, usually a new to be bride, with a pound of this and a pound of that to fill her pantry.

Back To School Party

Last week was our last "Monday Merriment" since school begins this week. We had a big back to school party complete with snowcones, lots of balloons, a school supply gift exchange, and a fun school craft. It seemed like the children just kept coming - lots of kids for one little building. But we had a lot of adult helpers this week too (thank you!) and of course, a ton of fun.

WANTED: Mentors

We will be starting our on-location Christian mentoring program at Jordan Loop at the begining of September and there are lots of children that want to be a part of it.....however, we will only accept as many kids as we have MENTORS.
We are looking for Christian men and women to love and lead elementary aged children. Being a mentor involves hanging out at The Peace Place doing schoolwork, eating dinner together, teaching different skills, and most importantly modeling a life that follows and worships Jesus. Mentors need to be available either every Monday or ever Wednesday from apx. 4:30-7:30. Will you step up and lead a child who desperately needs a Godly adult to follow? Be blessed by giving out of the abundance of what Christ has given you.You will be changed!

If you are interested in becoming a mentor this fall, you can download this application to fill out and turn in.
