After six months I decided to join the church and the music ministry. I sang in the choir and played violin in the orchestra. I loved every minute of serving alongside fellow musicians, praising God in beautiful anthems. It wasn't long before I was asked to consider volunteering with the youth program. I joyfully accepted that calling to support middle and high school ministries. Suddenly, I was engaged in numerous ministries. Each ministry has shaped and strengthened my relationship with Christ and with the people of Prince of Peace. I felt like I was home.
Since joining Prince of Peace I've experienced great successes and terrible losses. This congregation has been my biggest cheerleaders and supporters for both the highs and the lows. So when asked, "why am I engaged at Prince of Peace?" I can boldly answer that Prince of Peace is my spiritual home that has showed me what Christ's love means.
I am grateful for the service opportunities that God has presented through Prince of Peace. Thank you, Lord, for helping me find a place to connect and serve alongside your people." this article was first published in the Prince of Peace Communicator
