and confusing. Having a parish nurse to help and
guide you can help provide comfort and relief.
A parish nurse can accompany you on your health
journey, providing information, referral, and
support.
This help may be provided:
· By personally contacting you via phone,
visit, email, or by an impromptu visit at
church.
· By accompanying you to a medical
appointment to assist in collecting and
interpreting information.
· By connecting you to educational or
healthcare resources or supportive
healthcare agencies.
· By listening to your concerns with
compassionate ears.
If you have need to contact me, you may do so by
calling the church and leaving me a message at

Scouting Possibilities
at Prince of Peace
Ian Vitkus, District Executive of the Boy Scouts is
exploring the possibility of starting a new scout unit in
the Dublin area. Scouting has a long history of
equipping young people for leadership through
activities that strengthen ethical and moral choices.
If you have an interest in participating in a new scout
unit, either Cub Scout pack or Boy Scout troop and
would like to know more or are interested in starting
a unit at Prince of Peace, please contact me.
I hope to hear from you.

Journey Off the Map helps us get to know that
Jesus is our Guide, that Daniel chose to follow
God no matter what, and we need to trust, stay
on track and keep watching for things to come.
These are great lessons for our children to learn
and what better place than at church during
Vacation Bible School! There are wonderful
places we will create that help us make this a fun
experience for all! The Overlook – our bible story
& music rally; The Tangled Branch Tree House –

It is NOT something we do with our left-over time; it is at the core of who we are. Perhaps you would like to
use your gifts and talents in some new ways this summer? Here are some ideas:
If your family has enjoyed breakfast in the Café, would you
consider serving JUST ONE SUNDAY during the summer?
POPs Café – help us serve breakfast. Join a team of kitchen helpers and serve just 1-2 times this summer
We will pair you with a “pro” – so no experience is needed.

we are all in ministry

If you have new ideas for worship, service,

please talk to the church staff.
