To Weed or Not to Weed? July 7, 9am-noon Do you notice flowers or bushes on almost every inch of our property? Prince of Peace is blessed to have a crew of volunteers that have made our grounds absolutely gorgeous. Please join them and our staff as they weed and mulch on July 7th from 9 a.m. to noon. Our National Youth Gathering participants will also be helping in a show of appreciation for the congregation's support! Please bring your own work gloves and your love of God's creation. Any questions can be directed to Tanya.tucker@poplc.org. Thanks so much!

Old Record Album

Donations Needed If you have any old record albums sitting around your house that you would like to donate, we are currently accepting them at Prince of Peace. The albums are needed to replace the large collection belonging to an individual with intellectual disabilities that was destroyed due to a house fire at his group home. He was previously a housemate of PoP member Tyler Stillman in Woodbridge. Any type of music is acceptable. You may drop the albums off in the church office, marked for Lori Stillman. Or, if you need them to be picked up at your home, please contact Lori at 703-451-5855 or lori.stillman@poplc.org. Thank you for brightening the life of someone with special needs in our community!

Sanctuary Sound System

Technical Difficulties

We apologize for the sound system technical difficulties that have occurred recently in the Sanctuary. Two weeks ago, a major sound component--the matrix processor, which routes the sound signals from the sound mixing board to the correct speakers--failed. To temporarily overcome this, two speakers have been set up on the sides of the choir loft. The failed processor has been sent in for repair and is planned to be operational again within two weeks.

We appreciate your patience during this time and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to see Rob Lansing or email him at robmlan@verizon.net.

PoP Members Cast

Votes on Several

Important Decisions During the Voter’s Meeting held last Wednesday evening, the Voters reviewed the annual report from the 2016 Fiscal Year (FY) Ministry Plan; reviewed the projections of the 2017 FY Ministry Plan; approved the 2017 FY Budget; elected Erin Summers and Julie Eichhorst to second two-year terms on the Board of Servant Leaders (BoSL); and amended the Love in Action (LIA) charter to align the language of the charter with the intent of the donors. The BoSL members are the “keepers of the vision” under the policy based governance model followed by Prince of Peace. The BoSL approves the annual ministry plan and sets the policies the Senior Pastor will follow as he implements the vision of the church. The annual budget provides the resources for the implementation of the annual ministry plan. Erin Summers and Julie Eichhorst join Chris Martin, Kim Robinson, Dave McLean and Leon DeBolt as elected members (and Pastor Carl and Jennie Smith as ex-officio members) of the BoSL. The new language of the LIA charter clearly permits the Board, which includes the pastor as an advisory member, to provide missional funding for groups whose doctrinal practice aligns with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. The 2017 FY Ministry plan is built on the goal of engaging members in ministry through better communication, discovery of passions and gifts, and learning to share stories of salvation.

en•courage NOVA

Joy of Words Not Said By Mark Boriak Prince of Peace Member and Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) in Training For other inspirational messages visit http://www.poplc.org/encourage-nova/ It was after midnight at the end of a long travel day. The fully-packed airplane actually pulled to the gate a few minutes ahead of schedule, but there was a long delay waiting for someone to open the aircraft door, and our early arrival slowly evaporated. The passengers who had jumped to their feet to pull down their bags were now shifting irritably in the overcrowded aisle. I remained in my seat, and someone behind me kept banging a bag into my head. I started to work up a good case of righteous indignation.

Fortunately, I sneaked a quick glance over my shoulder before opening my mouth to complain to the thoughtless individual who had been bashing me repeatedly. My next thought was to thank God that He had kept me from once again embarrassing myself with unkind words spoken in haste. The “perpetrator” was a young mother who had walked up and down the aisle with her little boy hanging on to her two fingers at least a dozen times during the flight. As our turn came to deplane, I helped her by carrying the huge diaper bag that had been the source of my discomfort and her carry-on bag for good measure. She was able to concentrate on her little boy. I am thankful that her impression of me was as a kindly grandfather rather than a surly whiner. She did not have to know the blackness of my heart.

But there have been way too many occasions when I have not controlled my tongue. I expect that you can say the same thing. The book of James tells us, “no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.” Sometimes I envy the prophet Ezekiel, whom God prevented from speaking for years unless he was delivering a direct message from God.

We do actually have a wonderful message of blessing from God for other people. We have the good news of God’s grace in the person of Jesus Christ. If we could deliver more of God’s message and less of our own, how might that improve everything for those around us? These words from Psalm 141:3 have been one of my daily prayers for many years: Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! I’m grateful that God answered this prayer one night on a crowded plane, and I continue to pray that He will inspire me to speak only blessings to those around me.

About the Author Mark is a “Lutheran from birth” blessed either with a curious mind and a broad range of interests or cursed with a short attention span. He has been blessed with an amazing wife, Nancy, two “above average” children and four awesome grandchildren (acknowledging that there are no other kind). He has a Ph.D. in theoretical solid state physics and works as a software engineer. Highlights of his service at Prince of Peace include leading a small group, involvement with education including teaching high school Sunday school (which his children have since acknowledged was not primarily aimed at embarrassing them) and serving on the Board of Servant Leaders. Over the past few years, the Holy Spirit has lead Mark to healing prayer ministry were he has experienced God’s power in healing and deliverance both personally and in the lives of others. His hobbies include home brewing, growing orchids, horticulture, travel and running. Mark recently received word from the St. Louis Seminary that he has been accepted into the Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) program and he will begin his studies this Fall.

Have you read our En•Courage NOVA Blog?

We have a team of nine writers who post on a variety of topics with the intent to inspire and encourage those living in Northern Virginia with the hope of Jesus Christ! It’s a great way to share the love of Christ when you pass on the blog to a friend or post it on your own Facebook news feed. Find the En•Courage NOVA blog at http://www.poplc.org/encourage-nova/ Check out the latest blog written by DCE Stacey Crosson:

“Why am I not seeing the En•Courage NOVA blog on my

Facebook news feed?” a member asked me this week after I shared with her that the

En•Courage NOVA Blog team has been posting on our website and Facebook for over a month now. This member had no idea because for some reason she was not receiving, or seeing, the posts from Prince of Peace’s Facebook page on her news feed page.

Facebook News Feed Help I am no expert to Facebook. I am learning as I go. To research an answer to this question, I found https://www.facebook.com/help/327131014036297 which offers an answer.

What is Facebook News Feed? “News Feed is the constantly updating list of stories in the middle of your Facebook home page. News Feed includes status updates, photos, videos, links, app activity and likes from people, Pages and groups that you follow on Facebook. The stories that show in your News Feed are influenced by your connections and activity on Facebook. This helps you to see more stories that interest you from friends you interact with the most. The number of comments and likes a post receives and what kind of story it is (ex: photo, video, status update) can also make it more likely to appear in your News Feed.” (quote directly from the Facebook Help link providced above)

If you feel you're missing stories you'd like to see, or seeing stories in your News Feed that you don't want to see, visit www.facebook.com/help/335291769884272 on how to adjust your Facebook settings. ~ DCE Stacey Crosson

Sahara Challen Cresent Project Update June 2016 by Yvette Moy More than 100 people from around the United States and around the world gathered in Minneapolis for Crescent Project’s Sahara Challenge training. Participants heard testimonies from a panel of believers of Muslim background from Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somali, Tunisia. They also went to visit a mosque in nearby Bloomington to share an iftar dinner during Ramadan. Everyone was connected with a regional small group. Meanwhile, People of the Book Lutheran Outreach missionaries Nadir, Georgette and Nora also met Christians from Egypt and Palestine that were attending the conference at Bethel University. They had just relocated from Omaha, Nebraska, after establishing an Arabic fellowship.

The shelter, the first of its kind on the East Coast, serves women by providing for their emotional support through mature Christian friendships. While it addresses practical needs – housing, food and transportation, it also equips each woman according to her calling and gifts, preparing her to live independently. For many, this is the first time they have been without the protection and guidance of a male relative. They will learn how to hear and respond to God’s voice.

SAVE THE DATE: Christian author Kate McCord will be the featured speaker at our banquet on October 29, 2016, 6:30 – 9:30 p.m., at PoP. The director of His Choice Stones met with the Isa Salaam Mission Society in May. If you are interested in being part of this creative partnership to establish a shelter in Metro D.C., contact me at ymoy@crescentproject.org.

Upcoming Events

September 30 and October 1 Al Fadi, a former devout Saudi Muslim, to speak at Immanuel Bible Church, Springfield, VA.

October 15 Bridges One Day at King of Glory Lutheran Church, Williamsburg, VA.

October 15, 16 Crescent Project Founder Fouad Masri preaching at Cherrydale Baptist Church, Arlington, VA.

Just before giving my testimony on disciple making and serving on the prayer team at Sahara Challenge, I stayed at a shelter for new believers of Muslim background. His Choice Stones is a haven for women endangered because of their faith in Jesus Christ. There I met an Iraqi woman, who suffered a fractured skull, a broken nose and bruised eye – barely escaping from a family beating.

Faith Stories Sharing your faith story is an integral component in living out your faith. Your individual story makes up the greater story—the story of God’s redeeming His people for Himself. Our stories encourage other believers while God also uses them to reach those not yet connected to Him. You can share your stories by writing them in the “Friendship Folder” at any worship service, or post your story as a comment on the popfaithstories.wordpress.com, or by sending an e-mail to tiffany.sears@poplc.org.

Would you like to be a part of bringing some joy to the students, teachers and staff of VOH? Each year "Papa Noel" and his team of elves give out gifts to the 640 + students and the 75 staff members at Village of Hope School and Health Center. Each grade receives about 8 small age appropriate gifts in a colorful handmade drawstring bag. The students like their gifts but even more than that, they feel the love of Jesus through all the wonderful sponsors and supporters of VOH! The gifts have been donated by many of you in the past and I want to give you the opportunity to be a part of this again. Please contact: Marni Maree at Vohloweb@gmail.com.
