Question 1

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

The family at Peace is made up of people of all ages at all stages of life.  Clothing ranges from shorts and jeans to skirts and ties. We encourage you to be comfortable and be yourself.

Question 2

Can I bring my kids to church?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Children of all ages are a welcome part of our Sunday worship services. We know they may wiggle or make noise, and that’s okay. It’s what kids do!  If you come to the front for Communion, you are welcome to bring your child for a special blessing from the pastor.

Question 3

Where should I park? Which door should I use?

Accepted Answer

​There is plenty of parking on the north, west, and south sides of the building.    Covered entrances are available on both the front and the back of the building; you’re welcome to use either one, as they both go to the same place!

Question 4

What should I do once I get inside?

Accepted Answer

The main doors lead to an open room, where you can find a coat rack, a tissue, and 'News & Notes' with the scoop about what’s going on at Peace.  Signs or a friendly usher can point you to the bathrooms or drinking fountain. At the Welcome Center you will find a guest register and helpful information about the church. When you’re ready to enter the sanctuary, an usher will ask if you’d like a bulletin and will be happy to help you find a seat if you’d like.  You are welcome to sit anywhere you like.
​
In each pew you will find hymnals, Bibles, kids’ doodle papers, and a statement about attending Communion. A Friendship Folder at the inside end of each pew offers you a place to record your name (which helps the church office with its attendance records) – you can do this either before the service or while the offering is being collected after the sermon.

Question 5

What is a service like?

Accepted Answer

Services usually last 60-75 minutes.  It will include songs, Bible readings, responsive litanies, a sermon by the pastor, and prayer.  We celebrate the Lord’s Supper/Holy Communion on the first, third, and fifth Sunday of the month.
 
Our 9:30 service includes traditional hymns, connecting us through song to the faith of our Christian brothers and sisters from hundreds of years ago.

Our 11:15 service is a contemporary service, including music with modern sounds but still rooted in the truths of Scripture.

Question 6

What happens after the service?

Accepted Answer

​There is no formal dismissal after the service – you’re free to leave when the service is over.  Some of our members tend to hang around in the entryway for a while, chatting and getting caught up on the week’s activities.  Others scoot out right away to head to their homes and that day’s obligations. People may say hello to you or give you a shy smile; you are welcome to smile back!  Most Sundays we offer coffee and treats between the services. You are invited to sit and enjoy a light snack with our members!
