Community Life

We enjoy spending time together and work to encourage small groups and other events. Our fellowship activities come from regularly scheduled events as well as special events that are a part of a celebration or other activity involving the congregation. For example, Tables for All is a dinner program that makes it easy to meet different people once a month. Eight people gather to have dinner at a “host” house and each guest brings a vegetable, bread, or dessert. Our potlucks commonly draw large crowds at the annual congregational meeting and other events.

Happening Soon...

Chili Cook-off -- January 23. Our members have several fantastic chili recipes which they share with everyone as we eat and have fun together. We “vote” for our favorite chili by putting money in a can by each entry, and the proceeds go to support our youth ministry programs.

The Annual Congregational Meeting -- 1:00 pm on Sunday, February 7th. A potluck lunch will be served before the meeting at noon. Please volunteer to prepare a tasty food item (main dish, side dish/vegetable, salad with bread, or dessert), or to set up, serve, or clean up. Sign up in the narthex or by contacting Lesa Sullivan.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper -- February 16. We enjoy a festive supper of pancakes, and also burn last year’s palms to make ashes for the next evening’s Ash Wednesday service.

First ever movie night at Prince of Peace! After the Saturday service on February 20th at 6:00 come see the movie "March of the Penguins," the 2005 Academy award winner for Best Documentary Feature. Bring the whole family. Refreshments will be available throughout the movie.

Tables for All - Please join other folks from Prince of Peace for three fun dinners over the coming year. Tables for All is for all adults who like to eat and socialize - who doesn't? This is a great way to strengthen our community connections, meet new friends, and catch up with old friends. Sign up as a single or couple and you will be matched with others for potluck dinners at your home or elsewhere during the months of October/November, January/February, and March/April. Hosts provide the main dish and guests bring either salad, side dishes, or dessert. New this year are suggestions for optional theme dinners, table prayers to share, and canned food donations for Gaithersburg Help. The sign up sheet is in the narthex or contact Becky Carr (carrfive@bellatlantic.net or 301-349-2040) for more information.
