News and Events

We welcome our friends from St. Paul and Good Shepherd Lutheran Churches in Fort Dodge as they join us on Wednesday, December 14 at 7pm for a Christmas Hymn Sing here at Prince of Peace followed by refreshments in the fellowship hall.

Enjoy singing Christmas songs with fellowship around the Word? Plan to join us! If you can't attend in person, you can enjoy the live-streamed service here.

Thank you Larry and Julie for using your God-given talents in serving the Lord!

Meet Larry and Julie Hughes!
We are so thankful and blessed to have Larry and Julie Hughes in our member family at Prince of Peace. Larry has been a member since birth - baptized in 1953 by the Rev. Boedecker and confirmed in 1968 by Rev. Janke. Larry's mother, Loretta was famous around Fort Dodge for her homemade apple dumplings. Larry has had his own construction company for the past 30 years. He served as an usher at Prince of Peace for 25 years and continues to serve on the Board of Trustees (we like to call him a permanent fixture!). Larry married Julie Abrams in 1975. Julie was a nurse at Trinity Regional Hospital (Unity Point) and retired in 2018. She has served on the Youth Board, Library Committee and a member of the former Junior Christian Women Group. She currently enjoys sharing her amazing talent with the church ladies sewing group. In her free time, she enjoys crafts and is a big fan of Pinterest. Larry and Julie have three children: Chris, Jamie and Kari; four grandchildren; and one great-grandson - all of whom are their pride and joy. When asked what they most love - it's no surprise that having their family over for special holidays is top of their list!

Mark your calendar and plan to join us for our upcoming special holiday services as we offer our gracious God praise and thanksgiving for the many blessings we have received from His merciful hand.

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. The topic for Wednesday Bible studies will be a four week video series by Max Lucado titled "Because of Christmas." The series explores how the One who made everything chose to make Himself nothing and come into our world.

Session 1    "God Has a Face" Session 3 "God Guides the Wise"
Session 2    "Worship Works Wonders" Session 4 "Every Heart a Manger"

Our Sunday morning Bible studies will continue with the Parables of Jesus. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus often taught His followers through the parables he told.

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