Join the Farm!
Last month we learned about The Abundant Table Farm Project. One aspect of the program is where subscribers
buy a portion of the farm’s crops and receive weekly boxes of the harvest fresh from the field.
Prince of Peace can become a pick up site once there are 9 subscribers. If you are interested please call or email the church office. For more information, visit
www.jointhefarm.com.

repertoire, discuss, reflect, pray, and “sing to the Lord a new song.” The cost for weekend is $180. To make a reservation,
call 805-682-4117 or email MtCalvary1@aol.com.

From The Rector
Rand Reasoner
To truly know Prince of Peace you must know what things we hold important. The values of our faith community are described below. We
strive to hold these values as our own and hope that if you are searching for a community of Christ's people, you will find these
values present not only on this piece of paper but in our lives.
We are called to make God the number one priority in our lives. This means coming together on Sunday for corporate worship, fully
participating in these services, and offering our lives daily in prayer and thanksgiving so that we may be of service to God in the
world. We express our commitment to worship by our Sunday morning attendance, by participation in the Sacraments of Baptism, Marriage,
and Burial, by serving at healing and nursing home services, and by taking communion to the home bound. We worship as active members of
the Acolytes, Altar Guild, Handbells, Choir, Daughters of the King, Greeters, Health Ministry, Lay Eucharist Ministers, Lectors, Prayer
Ministry and Ushers.
We are called to make this world and community a better place for children. We strive to honor our responsibility to young people
through Alpha Kids, Boy Scouts, Children's Handbells, Children's Ministry, Confirmation instruction,
Jr. Daughters of the King, nursery care, Sunday school education and Youth Ministry for Middle and Sr. High students.
We are called to honest communication, teamwork, support, and love. This is the way our Christian community must operate. Our monthly
newsletters, weekly bulletins, verbal announcements, Internet web site, electronic mail system, open committee meetings and occasional
forums help keep lines of communication accessible and unrestricted.
We are called to share our faith in Jesus Christ with those who do not know him. Jesus great commission gives us the directive to
share the treasure that we have. Our treasure is our faith. We participate in evangelism through advertising, Alpha, Children's
Ministry, Convalescent Home Worship, Cursillo, Food Coalition, Poppys, Prince's Players, Rector's Coffees, Sports Committee, Welcome
Committee and Youth Ministry.
These values makes us a Christian community. May God who has given us the grace and the will to be God's community give us the power
of the Holy Spirit to accomplish all this and more.
