Connect in a Group: PEACE Groups While I was teaching the Discover class, a few PEACE Group leaders came and talked about their experiences with PEACE Groups. WOW! I was blown away by their stories. Each person talked about how they developed deep relationships within their groups. They shared how they would spend time together outside of study, talk about difficult situations in their lives, support each other, and even vacation together. Jim and Cathy McCabe shared how one couple in their group moved to Indiana and still attends their PEACE Group meetings via a phone call or Skype. WOW! Great connections and friendships! Kris Reiner shared that her PEACE Group supported and helped her several years ago after her husband passed away. In fact, at the funeral as Kris sat in the front pew with her PEACE Group sat right behind her, she said that she could feel their prayers and love. Even those attending the funeral asked her if they were part of her family, and she told them, “No, that's my PEACE Group.” This is what a PEACE Group at Prince of Peace is all about. It is about loving and caring for each other while being in the word of God. It is about being a family who does life together. As I sit back and look at PEACE Groups at POP, I imagine the human body, a representation of the body of Christ. Worshiping together is the head. The head makes everything in the body go, as it is with worship and the church. Worship is where we learn about, pray to, connect to, and praise our Lord. It is the center of what we do as the body of Christ. I see serving others as the hands and feet of a person. It is doing what is needed to help others and to be the body of Christ for others around us. Finally, I see groups at POP as the heart of POP, the life blood of the body of Christ. If you are in a group, please know I am praying for you daily. If you would like to join a group, please reach out by texting “Get Connected” to 97000 or email Pastor Matt Koenig, Discipleship Pastor. FALL 2019 | PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH 7
