50,000 Hours Serving Goal<br />

7,800+<br />

Serving hours<br />

from POP members<br />

since October 2018.<br />

Our 3x50 campaign includes a goal to share<br />

one of life’s most precious resources: time!<br />

We hope to contribute at least 50,000 hours<br />

of service from October 2018 through<br />

October 2021, both within our congregation<br />

and where we live, work, and play.<br />

Since October 1, 2018, we received 95 submissions<br />

totaling 1,616 hours of people serving outside of<br />

Prince of Peace sponsored activities. We collect these<br />

submissions (and encourage stories!) through two<br />

sources. Paper forms are available at the Connection<br />

Center and a reporting link is posted on our website:<br />

pop.church/teams.<br />

In addition, we logged 6,200 hours through serving<br />

activities organized by Prince of Peace both within and<br />

outside our walls. That brings our grand total to 7,816<br />

hours so far. Let’s celebrate that progress!<br />

Why record and report serving hours? While 50,000<br />

hours represents a numeric goal, it also speaks to our<br />

storyteller and servant measures. We share stories of<br />

how we put others first, guide others, and love one<br />

another. This is not intended as bragging! Sharing<br />

your serving stories with us gives insight into how and<br />

where you are serving. That, in turn, helps us connect<br />

people with similar passions and interests and consider<br />

potential new mission partners (one of our other vision<br />

projects).<br />
