THINKING NEXT 50 FOR THE YEARS A NOTE FROM PASTOR KARL We are fast approaching our 50 th anniversary in October 2021! Alright, alright. I know that’s three years away, but we all know how quickly three years can fly. Over the past year, the leaders of Prince of Peace reviewed our history and studied what makes this church so unique and what events shaped us over the 47 years we’ve existed. Why? We’ve been looking back to focus our work in the present and move courageously into the future God has mapped out for us. What are we going to do? In the next three years, POP will ignite spiritual transformation while addressing critical social needs in our community through our 3 X 50 Campaign. 3 By 2021, our objective is to • grow to 50 active adult groups, • give 50,000 service hours, and • invest $500,000 in our community. 50 Groups: We will pursue a revival of relational discipleship by growing to 50 adult groups that meet regularly by our 50th year. In addition to adult groups, children’s and student ministry will combine for 33 groups in 3 years (33 in 3). 50,000 Hours: Given the busyness of our lives, the most precious commodity we can share is our time. We will put others first by giving 50,000 hours of service in our community to bring restoration and build relationships, both inside and outside the church. Ultimately, we pray that through this intentional investment of our time and attention, more people will discover peace in Christ. $500,000: To top it off, we want to invest with courage up to $500,000 in our community. While we continue to support our partner church, Crosspoint, we want to amplify our financial support of local service agencies with whom we partner. Let’s celebrate 50 years of God’s grace upon Prince of Peace by doing what God designed us to do best: We empower caring people to share Christ’s peace in our busy communities. Let’s connect with one another in groups, serve together in our community, and share what God has given us! Let’s ignite spiritual transformation as we intentionally grow to 50 adult groups, share 50,000 hours in service, and invest $500,000 in our community. 2 PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH | FALL <strong>2018</strong>
