Prince of Peace Lutheran - Fort Dodge, IA

News and Events

The Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Lutheran Women's Missionary League and the Sewing Group are hosting a quilt, craft, and bake sale on Saturday, October 7, from 10am to 1pm. We will be serving walking tacos, bars, and beverages for a free will offering. Proceeds will go to Orphan Grain Train and home missions.
Hope to see you there!

Thank you Pat and Rhonda for your faithfulness in serving the Lord and for making Christian Education a priority!

Please note that beginning October 1, our worship time will change to 9:15-10:15 am with Sunday school and Bible study following the service. This was decided at a special voters' meeting in August and will allow Pastor Raether to assist once a month with Sunday services at St. Paul in Fort Dodge.

Meet Pat and Rhonda Waddell!
Pat and Rhonda have been members at Prince of Peace for over 30 years. They met after a football game in Spirit Lake and were married in 1986 in Denver, Colorado. They have four children (Mallory, Caitlyn, Mason and Carter), and six adorable grandchildren with two more on the way! Christian education is important to Pat and Rhonda, so they were thankful and blessed to send all four of their children to St. Paul Lutheran School in Fort Dodge. Pat retired in 2022 from Midstate Plumbing (Local 45) and now enjoys biking in the outdoors and also working with sheet metal. Rhonda worked for 35 years in the OB department at Unity Point Hospital and recently retired this year. Rhonda loves horses and enjoys quilting in her spare time. At church, Rhonda has served as a videographer, Sunday school superintendent, Sunday school teacher, VBS volunteer and has been on the Board of Christian Education for many years.

Be sure to visit our new "Blessings Remembered" page under the "About Us" tab. The page was created and is updated by Rev. Bill Van Nostrand (member and former vacancy pastor at Prince of Peace). The page will hopefully prompt not only memories of past Prince of Peace blessings, but of the many personal blessings from God in your life. We hope you enjoy this new addition to our website!

We welcome you to join us for Bible study every Sunday following the church service at 10:15am and on Wednesdays at 10am in the Fellowship hall.

Sunday Morning Bible Study Schedule:
9/17 - Psalm 90 "God speaks when I think of the passing of time."
9/24 - Psalm 107 "God speaks about deliverance from trouble."
Beginning in October, the group will study "The Life of David."

Wednesday Morning Bible Study:
We will continue and conclude our video series "In the Footsteps of the Savior."
9/13 - "Caesarea by the Sea" (Following Jesus when you need grace).
Following the conclusion of this Bible study, we will have a study on Don Piper's book "Ninety Minutes in Heaven." Don recently did a presentation in Humboldt that many of our members attended.

You are invited to join us for coffee, rolls, fellowship and a study of God’s Word.  Welcome a friend or neighbor!
