Summer Worship Series: Liturgies for Resisting Empire by Kat Armas
10:30am in the Music Room
In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power.
Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation. She begins by examining how empire affects us daily through its pervasive ideologies and systems of control. Drawing from decolonial and postcolonial biblical interpretation, she explores how the New Testament church resisted Roman imperial power while building communities centered on God's kingdom values rather than worldly dominance.
Pastor Corinne, Pastor Laurie, and Amanda selected this book to guide our summer worship and after-worship discussions. It speaks to themes we’ve been hearing from many folks at Peace Church: they are hungry for a deep Christian faith that speaks to the hard stuff going on in our world, or they are deconstructing from faith traditions that harmed them and seeking a path toward reconstruction. Join us June 28-August 30 for worship and conversation at coffee hour, and buy a copy of the book at bookshop.org or one of our local bookstores!

Gathering Sunday
After a slower, more spacious summer, we resume our program year on September 13! On Sunday mornings, we will return to two worship services at 8:30am and 10:30am, with Adult Forums and selfserve coffee between services, and Coffee Hour in the Fellowship Hall after the 10:30am service. This Gathering Sunday, we’re doing a bit of a throwback: a ministry fair. When the program year kicks off, we’re all getting our schedules and priorities organized, and we invite you to consider Peace Church as one of those priorities. To that end, our many teams, committees, taskforces, and ministry groups will have tables with treats during Coffee Hour so you can learn more about where God might be calling you this year. Are you an 8:30am service person? Join for the Adult Forum at 9:30am, where representatives from many of our groups will be in the Fireside Room to connect. Looking forward to welcoming you back to church!

Forum: Where Is God Calling You This Year?
9:30am in the Fireside Room
On Gathering Sunday, we return to a more robust community life after a slower summer pace. With gathering comes an invitation: where is God calling you to learn, grow, participate, or join in community this year? Members of teams, committees, and ministries at Peace Church will share meaningfully about their experiences and invite you to do the same. We hope for participants to make new connections, discern new possibilities, and prepare for a faithful and hope-filled year ahead.

Forum: Sasabe Empowerment Project: Border Town Resurrection Story
9:30am in the Fireside Room
Presentation by David Damien and Rita Danks. Sasabe, Senora was a small, quiet border town of until October 2023 when fighting broke out between rival Mexican cartels. Businesses closed, violence escalated, and 2000 citizens fled across the border. By the end of December, the violence had subsided and the town was empty. Samaritans, a humanitarian group, and film director David Damien have been instrumental in reclaiming the town and bringing it back to life. There is a new central plaza, a community library, educational classes, and intramural sports teams. A new café is open on weekends and people are returning to reclaim their homes. David and a Samaritan volunteer will talk about the Sasabe Empowerment Project at the adult forum.

Birth Story Sharing Circle
7-8:30pm
God is always with us, especially in the thin places....and Birth is one of these places! As a way to build community at Peace Church, we are hosting a Birth Story Sharing night. The goal for this circle is to gather people who would like to share their own birth story, or to be a listening presence for others. Anyone who has given birth, witnessed a partner give birth, cared for someone giving birth, or who simply loves to honor birth stories, is welcome.

Taizé is returning to Peace!
8:30am in the Sanctuary
The first Sunday of each month, beginning Sunday, October 4th, 2026 and continuing through May 2027, we will have the opportunity to practice Taizé, musical centering prayer, together at the 8:30am service. To assist the sense of quiet, we will not celebrate communion on Taizé Sundays at the 8:30am service, but the 10:30am service will continue the tradition of communion on the first Sunday of the month.
