Small Groups

Consider joining a small group at Peace - it's an awesome opportunity to get to know your fellow Peace members as well as grow closer to God!

Small Group Opportunities

What is a small group?

A relationship-based group of 8 to 12 people where you can connect with other members, the church, and with God in a variety of ways. They are where heart to heart ministry take place. Small groups are an ideal setting for growing servant disciples.

Is it a big commitment?

Of the ten groups, five of them will have weekly gatherings and five will meet approximately once a month. Some groups meet for a set number of weeks, while others are ongoing.

How do I sign up?

Contact Denise Thoen at 952-942-5936 and we will get you in touch with the leader for each group.

Small Groups at Peace

Tuesday Quilters

Join the Tuesday Quilters as they begin meeting every week from September-May from 9:30am to noon in the Fireside Room. They need sewers, ironers, pin-ers, knot tie-ers, and anyone who loves to chat. Their quilts are donated to a variety of charities. In 2010, we made 41 quilts!. Fifteen of those were given to the baptized. Other quilts went to Hope Presbyterian Church, Cornerstone, and to the children's homes sponsored by Peace House Foundation in Tanzania. Call Denise Thoen at 952-942-5936 with any questions. We will start up on Tuesday, Sept 7.

Peace Garden Club

The "Peace Garden Club" is a group of members formed to make Peace a more beautiful and inviting place to grow in faith. We contribute our time, muscle, resources, perennials, and our love of gardening and landscaping.  We don't typically "meet" as a group, but come together 3-4 times a year to share ideas and work on projects. Last spring, "Peace Garden Club" planted flowers in the front beds.  We shared perennials to beautify the walk to Peace House from our own gardens.  We created a new lily and hosta garden.  We donated and planted new shrubs along the fence in front of the playground.   "Peace Garden Club" this past fall added more perennials and put in over a hundred spring bulbs.   Your hands and creative ideas and plant donations are welcome! For more information, please contact Justin Myhre or Anita Young.

Let's Hot Dish!

An ideal group for busy cooks.Together you will create multiple meals to bring home and freeze for use when your schedule is just a wee bit full. A portion of the meals you create will be left in Peace's freezer to be shared with fellow Peace members who may be in need of a good homecooked meal. Sound fun? You betcha! Cost: Members to provide own food and containers.

Gourmet Fellowship Dinner Group

Hot dish not quite your style? This group will plan at least two Peace Fellowship Dinners annually. They will pick dinner themes, search for recipes, make and taste-test foods, select menus, advertise the dinners, and make arrangements for the decorating and hosting.
