Praising God, Living the Way of Jesus, & Building the Beloved Community

Changes at Peace Church
Our world’s quickly changing pandemic scene impacts Peace Church in many ways. The church council has been deeply thoughtful in addressing the church’s changing needs. Our values are making a safe place for Peace ministry while being highly vigilant to keep the staff and the building itself safe.
The council and Pastor Kathy have recognized that the church has to be closed with small exceptions. Our worship services are now live-streamed. All meetings and groups are converted to Zoom or other remote sessions, keeping the feeling of the spirit and soul of the groups. Please look for the links on the site or email the office with questions. (office@peaceucc.org) The church itself is locked and phone conversations for all needs are being handled by staff.
We give thanks for workers on the front line with essential services and we pray for those who are ill or suffer loss of income or support. Thanks to all who have volunteered to help members.
