William (Bill) and Loralee (Lori) Degelau
Bill and Lori met while both working at Leighton Supply and married in 1975. They have two daughters, Holly (married to Joe Caquelin) and Katie, plus two grand-dogs, Max and Winston, who they enjoy dog-sitting from time-to-time. Together they enjoy golf, reading and cooking. Bill also enjoyed making outdoor furniture in his backyard workshop for many years. Both are fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Cubs. Bill retired from Plumb Supply in 2014 but continued to work there part time until 2018. Over the years, Bill has served in many capacities at Prince of Peace. He spearheaded our videography program, sung in the senior choir, was a member of the Stewardship Committee, served as Financial Secretary and Assistant Financial Secretary, interim President, Trustee, Elder, AAL (Thrivent) coordinator and long time usher. He is currently serving as our Vice President. Lori retired as a therapist at Lutheran Family Service in 2020 and was also a therapist for the Fort Dodge School system. She is very gifted in music and also sang in the senior choir, led Praise the Lord (PTL) youth singers using her guitar, served as Church Secretary, was a member of the Human Care Committee, Elevator Finance Committee, Lutheran Youth Fellowship (LYF), Senior High Board and Prince of Peace Foundation. We are blessed with their many years of volunteering and their servant hearts.

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:
On February 5 we will begin a study of our Lord's greater passion, the last week of His life. The study title is "One Week" and follows our Lord from Palm Sunday, to His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem to His victorious resurrection on Easter.

Wednesday Morning Bible Study Theme:
Our video study series "He Chose the Nails" explores the many gifts that Christ provided to us at His crucifixion. Not only the gift of the cross, but also the gift of the thorns that pierced his brow; the nails that tore his flesh; the seamless robe that He removed for us. The empty tomb where he forever defeated sin and death.

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

About Us
We believe that Jesus Christ came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us, and we continue to celebrate that love through praise, sacraments, service, and community.
