COVID-19 Response
Due to an abundance of caution, a desire to care for the most vulnerable in our midst, and a hope to help “flatten the curve” of the coronavirus, Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren is planning to transform into “a virtual church” for all activities through and including Saturday, March 21st.
What is “a virtual church?” A virtual church is a gathering of God’s people via phone and the internet! Some activities, like Sunday School and the worship leader workshop are postponed. Choir is canceled. But Sunday’s worship service will be moved to a virtual format. You will be able to join us for Sunday worship using your home phone, your cell phone, or your computer at 10:40am on Sunday. Please stay tuned for information on how to join tomorrow. Bible Study will take place virtually at 7:00pm on Thursday as usual.
Please stay tuned for an update about future church activities sometime mid-week. If you are in need of support, please contact the pastors by phone or e-mail.
We encourage you to care for your neighbors. We may see an increase use of the Blessing Box as it becomes more difficult for people to work and this will be an important ministry to keep stocked for our community.
We know it’s an anxious, tumultuous time and we encourage you to find comfort in God’s words from Joshua 1:9:

How to Worship Online with Us
Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren will be worshiping as a "virtual church" until further notice. We will begin gathering virtually at 10:30am with gathering music and worship will begin at 10:40am.
There are two ways that you can join us.
1) Online: If you would like to join from a computer or smart phone to watch video of the service, you can pull up this link on Sunday morning beginning at 10:30am: https://zoom.us/j/3053866306. You will be able to see and hear Pastors Tim and Katie, as well as our lay worship leaders. If you have a webcam, we will be able to see you too (but you don't have to use this feature if you don't want to)! You will be able to ask questions or share prayer requests in the chat box.
2) Phone-Call: If you'd like to join through a phone call, you can dial this number on Sunday morning and listen in on worship: 1-929-205-6099. Then you must enter the meeting idea number: 305 386 6306. You will be able to hear Pastors Tim and Katie, and our lay worship leaders. If you have a prayer request that you would like shared, please call or text the pastors prior to 10:30am on Sunday morning.
Practice Run: This technology is new for many of us and because of that, we will be doing a short test run on Saturday night at 8:00pm. You can use the link above or call in at 8:00pm tonight to make sure your technology is working. This will just be a short check-in to make sure the technology works for you and a time for us to answer your questions.
Offering: Collecting money virtually will be a new challenge for our church. You can mail in your offering or you can give online using Tithe.ly. If you have any questions, feel free to call, text or email the Pastors.
We look forward to having you join us on Sunday morning. We will miss gathering in person, but look forward to worshipping God together.
