Prayer of the Week:

From Bishop Gallardo

Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage:

We humbly beseech you that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of your favor and glad to do your will.

Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.

Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.

Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues.

Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in your Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to your law, we may show forth your praise among the nations of the earth.

In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in your to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Condolences to the family and friends of

Don and Pat Garner

A brief interment service will be held in the Memorial Garden at Prince of Peace Saturday, November 7, 2026, starting promptly at 11:00 AM, with reception to follow in the Family Center.

+May their souls rest in peace

and light perpetual shine upon them.+

FRIENDSGIVING

Join Prince of Peace for our Friendsgiving on Saturday, November 7 at 5:00 PM in the Upper Hall. Our hope is for this to be a truly intergenerational event where we can come together as a community and celebrate all we have to be thankful for this year. There will be a potluck and board game competition. If you would like to provide a dish or bring a game, email Tara Brooks at tara@popwh.org

STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY – JOIN OUR INGATHERING OF PLEDGES!

Thank you to all who have already offered their pledges for the next year. And a gentle reminder that during the service this Sunday, November 8, we will gather our pledges at the offertory and place them on the altar.

All things come of thee, O Lord, and of thine own have we given thee.

Grace and peace to you!

BIBLE STUDY

The Sunday Bible Study is on a break. We will resume at 9:00 AM on the first Sunday of Advent, November 29, 2026. The Bible Study meets in the Community Room of the Pantry building. The Advent Bible Study will be held twice on Sunday mornings after each service. Signups begin this Sunday, November 8, or call the Church Office.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

The Season after Pentecost is the period between the Day of Pentecost and the First Sunday of Advent. This season makes up half of the calendar year, and it is a time to focus on the life and growth of the Church in the world, empowered by the gift of the presence of the Holy Spirit. This week, we are delving into the Gospel passage, Matthew 25:1-13, the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids. We will be discussing what it means to be ready for Jesus..

CALLING ALL ASPIRING BAKERS:

Holy Communion Bread Bakers Needed!

Have you ever wondered who bakes the bread that we consecrate and share during Communion on Sundays? You might be surprised to know that a small group of dedicated bakers from the parish make the communion bread in their homes!

Our own Pastor Kathie Clark started this ministry nearly four decades ago. For many years, Pastor Kathie and Grace Mizumoto of blessed memory baked the Communion bread. Along the way, Kathie and Grace taught Sue Ferron and Bruce Roe how to bake the bread. Today, Bruce and Sue and Kathie carry on this vital ministry.

Our three Holy Bakers are seeking additional bakers willing to learn the trade and be a part of this ministry that is so central to our worship experience. So, Bruce and Sue will be holding a Holy Communion Bread Baking Workshop on November 14 in the Upper Hall kitchen.

If you are interested in learning more, or to sign up for the Communion Bread Baking Workshop, please contact Bruce Roe at bproe54@gmail.com, or Sue Ferron at bonnieferron@gmail.com.
