Acts 11:1-18 – Open Minds: Peter
Acts 16:9-15 – Open Hearts: Lydia
Acts 16:16-34 – Open Doors: Paul, Silas, the Jailer
The Administration Team has nearly completed all the staff and pastoral reviews. We are blessed to have such a capable staff at Peace, working alongside all of you dedicated volunteers. Remember that I am the full-timer at Peace. Pastor Tricia works 15 hours/week. Judi and Gia work 20 hours/week each. Joe and Damaris are with us on Sunday mornings. Gia and I take Mondays off. Tricia works Tuesdays and week-ends mostly. Judi works Tuesday through Thursday.
