Highlights from Spring Congregation Meeting On Sunday, May 17 the Congregation met and did the following:
ELECTIONS
• Peggy Miller Kinderman was re-elected Secretary of the Congregation
Council, Tom Scheuerman was re-elected Vice President, Tom Mason
was re-elected Treasurer, Mike Kalinowski was re-elected President —
all for one year terms.
• Bill Robarge was re-elected to serve another 2 year term as an at-large
Council representative.
• Audit Committee: Peter Volkman agreed to serve one more term.
• Mission Outreach Fund: Jay Fulkerson agreed to continue to be chair.
• Crossways Delegates: Chris & Mary Volkman agreed to be PoP’s
delegates.
DISCERNMENT PROCESS
For several months Long Range Planning, Council, Staff and the Congregation have been going through a Discernment process to
clarify who we are as a congregation and envision where we should go over the next several years. Key aspects of our church life
include:
Purpose: We are a family of Christians, growing in Faith and Reaching out in Love!
Guiding Principles: When we are at our best you will see us:
Prayerfully seeking to do the will of God.
Spiritually growing as followers of Christ.
Genuinely caring for one another with the love of Jesus.
Gladly welcoming all with an open spirit.
Generously sharing in the work of God.
Meaningfully engaging with God’s world around us.
CALL COMMITTEE
The congregation elected the following people to a Call Committee:
Voting Members: Pat Hayes, Joel Landsverk, Andrew Skowanderson, Kris Gurholt, Sue Evers & Erin Larson.
Ex Officio Members: Dean Gruner (non-voting), Peggy Miller Kinderman and Mike Kalinowski (may vote if voting member is absent).
This is a GREAT Call Committee that represents a good cross-section of the congregation and all that we do here. They will do an
excellent job of representing the Church to Pastoral candidates as well as identifying the best candidate to help us grow our
ministry. The Committee will begin their work in the coming weeks as we summarize the discernment process vision and
coordinate with the synod office.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Through April Building Fund contributions are lagging by 13% - take a look at your commitment and try to get back on track.
Our General Fund contributions are slightly above budgeted levels and expenses are slightly below budget – a great thing! Please
review the on-line statements recently sent to you to ensure you are on track with your giving. As we consider calling a second
pastor, it is critical we go into the second half of the year in a strong financial position.
Jay Fulkerson noted that the Mission Outreach Fund now has over $60,000 due to your generous response to the matching
program last fall. The Outreach Fund will start soliciting requests for funding twice a year – once in summer and again late in the
year. If you have a program you’d like to help get support for, please watch for more information in the coming weeks.
Congregation Council
Women of the ELCA June Combined Bible Study Pastoral Intern, Cheryl Davis, conducted the June combined Bible
study for the Women of the ELCA.
Hrang Hlei Graduates from Luther Seminary in St. Paul (see above pictures) Dr. Hrang Hlei graduated from Luther Seminary on May 17. He, his wife A Cer and children, Jessica and Luke, are living
now in Kent, Washington and pastoring Chin Immanuel Christian Church, a Chin refugee congregation, until the end of
this year when they will return to Myanmar (Burma) and teach at Myanmar Institute of Theology (MIT) in Yangon. He
invited professors and friends to a restaurant the night before graduation so he and A Cer could thank the many people
who have supported them financially, spiritually and as special Christian friends. He made special note of Judson
Memorial in Minneapolis and Prince of Peace, Appleton as people who were very special to his family. Chuck and Deb
Steinbach were happy to represent PoP at these events. You may remember that PoP Men's Bible Study groups paid for
A Cer and almost 2 year old Jessica to fly to USA, and Judson and PoP, through designated gifts, have paid for their
apartment these years as he researched, wrote and defended his PhD. He and the whole family have made a big impact
at the seminary, at his research congregations in Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Dallas, and now his Seattle
congregation. His education will soon have a big impact on future pastors and leaders at MIT in Myanmar.
JULY 2015 • PRINTS OF PEACE 2
PoP ELCA Advocacy Team
Prince of Peace has a new team--and all members are invited to participate.
ELCA Advocacy - Connecting faith and public life (SOURCE: www.elca.org/advocacy )
“As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
God uses our hands, through our direct service work and our voices, through our advocacy efforts, to restore a n d
reconcile our world. Through faithful advocacy, the ELCA lives out our Lutheran belief that governments can help
advance the common good.”
“Why is advocacy important? Isn’t our direct service work enough? As the ELCA, we believe God is calling us into the
world to serve together. Through our direct service, we aid immediate needs before us. Through our advocacy work, we
impact systemic, long-lasting change.
The public policies our officials write, amend and ultimately adopt, can have ongoing effects on our neighbors who are
struggling with hunger and living with poverty, as well as God’s creation. By telling our lawmakers how Lutheran
ministries help our world and urging them to advance legislation that reflects these commitments, we are helping
create opportunities to overcome poverty, promote peace and dignity, and defend God’s creation.”
See more at: www.elca.org/en/Our-Work/Publicly-Engaged-Church/Advocacy/Why-Advocacy#sthash.hkIpiQMF.dpuf
The new PoP ELCA Advocacy Team was formed to:
• Help PoP members grow in awareness of ELCA efforts on our behalf.
• Support the efforts of ELCA Faith and Society by increasing member participation in:
o ELCA e-Advocacy Network
o Lutheran Office for Public Policy in Wisconsin
o Current social statement process
o Interfaith advocacy groups, such as ESTHER, Bread for the World and Wisconsin Council of Churches.
• Provide opportunities to learn about and discuss important ideas and issues in a non-partisan, faith-informed way
• Help PoP members grow in confidence and skills of using their citizen voices.
INTERESTED IN JOINING THE TEAM? The next meeting of the Advocacy Team will be Tuesday, July 28, at 6:30 at
church.
LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ELCA ADVOCACY? Contact Nancy Jones – 731-9250 or [email protected].
Humanity Interfaith Build Prince of Peace is joining 14 other faith communities in the Fox Valley to be part of the
Interfaith Builds this summer/fall. All fifteen faith communities will join together to build two
homes; one in Kimberly for the Alvizu family and one in northwest Appleton for the Vue family.
Volunteers for each work day will be a mix from the different faith communities. Prince of Peace is scheduled to provide
volunteer workers on 4 of the work days and to provide site support on 3 days. PoP work days include August 11 & 26 and
September 12 & 30; site support days include August 18, September 19 and October 1. The number of people needed each
work day is limited to 3 or 4. They are bound to fill fast so if you would like help with this project, whether as a worker on the
build or providing site support and/or noon meal, contact Ron Jones from Social Concerns Ministry at [email protected] or
731-9250.

1,018,658 Meals for Starving Children and Counting!!
Did you know that this is Prince of Peace’s fifth year of being a partner
congregation in sponsoring the Feed My Starving Children Fox Cities MobilePack?
As of 2014, the MobilePacks have packed 1,019,658 meals for children in
countries around the world. FMSC partners with reliable organizations in over 65
countries worldwide – and the food safely arrives. The reality of the number of meals we have packed to date is
that 2,790 children have received meals every day for a year! It is true…what we do locally…can and does have an
impact globally. This year the Fox Cities MobilePack (July 20-22 at First English Lutheran Church - Ballard Road
site) has a goal of an additional 200,000 meals which will feed 548 children for a year. Join us in making this a
reality:
▪ Go to the Prince of Peace website and click on the link for FMSC to sign up to pack.
▪ Donations continue to be accepted to help pay for the ingredients to pack the meals –
at 22 cents per meal, we need to raise $48,000. Checks can be written out to Prince of Peace with
FMSC in the memo line.
Thank you for your support in this meaningful outreach!

PARISH EDUCATION
JULY Calendar:
7/5 VBS Slideshow at both services
THANK YOU to All of Our Awesome VBS
Volunteers! We had a fantastic time at VBS! We had fun with science
and God. It wouldn’t have been the same without all of
the FABULOUS kids and the AMAZING volunteers that
joined us. We thank all of the volunteers that made it
happen. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of
people!
Thanks to Everyone who donated Food and
Craft Items for VBS! The kids made wonderful crafts, did exciting
experiments, played cool games and got to eat yummy
snacks!
VBS Slideshow on July 5th At both the 8:00 and 9:45 services on July 5th, there will
be a slideshow to show all of the great fun, fellowship
and learning about God’s plan we did at VBS.
Worship Notes Sunday School students entering grades 3-6 in the fall –
this is for you! When you attend church services this
summer, fill out an “I Attended Church Today” worship
note form and you’ll have a head start on your
expectations for the fall. The forms can be found in the
bin under the Sunday School bulletin board in the
narthex.
Sunday School Volunteers 2015-16 Sign-Up Anyone interested in signing up to help with Sunday
School for the 2015-16 school year is invited to sign up
now! There is a clipboard in the bin on Katie’s office
door. Flip to the grade (Pre-K through 6th) you would
like to help with and sign up to be either a teacher or
assistant (shepherd) in that classroom. We also have
an opportunity to work 1-on-1 with a few kids as a
Sunday School Buddy. If you would be interested in
leading a 20 minute activity on occasional Sundays in
the nursery for preschoolers during the 9:20 service,
you can sign up for that, too. We even have a separate
sheet in case you would rather be on a list of
substitutes. Make a difference in the faith journey of
our PoP children – sign up to help with Sunday School
TODAY. Confirmation students – please don’t wait to
sign up.
Sunday School Superstars Don’t forget to check out the photo board outside the
2nd grade classroom. You can see some of the things
that our kids are busy with during the year as they
learn and grow with Jesus. There are many new VBS
pictures up from June. As pictures are removed from
the board they will placed outside Katie’s office for you
to take.
Have a GREAT summer!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Community Outreach Thank you to our Salvation Army workers for June 8th: Frank &
Lorraine Krenz and Dick & Gwynne Sauer. PLEASE NOTE: Those
of you working at Salvation Army do NOT have to be there until
10:00 a.m. the morning you are scheduled to work.
Book Club The Book Club has chosen Margot by Jillian Cantor to read this
summer. They were two young Jewish girls in hiding from the
Nazis. This novel has the premise that Anne Frank's sister
survived the concentration camp and immigrated to Philadelphia
where she was quietly living under an assumed name until the
movie came out in 1959 and rocked her world. We will meet July
23 at 1:15 p.m. to discuss. "The novel not only feels like a prayer
for Margot and Anne, but for the many voiceless men and women
whose memory deserves recognition." Come and join us.
Fox Valley Lutheran Homes Hosting
Educational Seminar July 13th Have questions about your medications? What are
common drug side effects? Which drugs should you
not take concurrently? How do over-the-counter
drugs or herbal preparations interact with
prescription medications? You may have some of
these questions answered!
On Monday, July 13th at 10:30 AM, Fox Valley Homes
is hosting a pharmacist who will address some of
these concerns. In addition to a presentation there
will be time for a question and answer period. If you
wish to attend please call Ruth at 850-3623 to
register. You may leave a message with your name
and phone number. Fox Valley Lutheran Homes is
located at 425 N. Linwood Ave. in Appleton.
Early notice: August 31st program will feature
information related to Medicare supplemental
insurance coverage. It is a good time to review your
coverage prior to the enrollment date for 2016.
There will be more information later.
Garden Flower Sunday
Sunday, July 19 Cut some of your flowers and
arrange them in your favorite
vase, or if you have a gorgeous
patio flower pot, bring it to PoP
and set it up by the altar for Sunday, July 19.
Flowers can be dropped off on Friday, July 17
before 3:00 p.m. Show off all those beautiful
flowers in and around your house in church for our
Garden Flower Sunday! Thanks so much.
Christmas in August
It's that time of year again! Christmas in August has started!! This
is the 20th Anniversary of this program. It was organized as a way
for families to experience and teach the joy of giving, while at the
same time providing a needed service in the community. This
project partners Social Concerns Ministry and Outagamie County
Health and Human Services to provide area K through 8th grade
children with new jeans, short sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt, haircut
and shoes so they can start the fall school year looking good and
feeling good about themselves.
Take the opportunity to shop with your children or grandchildren,
knowing that the clothes they are picking out will make a less
fortunate child excited to go back to school. This worthwhile
project cannot be successful without your help and active
participation. Look for the Christmas trees in both entryways.
Please take an ornament or two, purchase the item and
place it back in the boxes provided with the ornament
attached by August 9th OR take a cash envelope and
place it in the collection plate during any service.
The cash donations will be used to purchase
clothes, undergarments and to pay for the
Rogan's and NewStyle Salon’s invoices.
Call or email Nette Kimball at 920-851-4032
or [email protected] if you have any
questions or would like to volunteer to help
with the behind the scenes action.
Box Tops Thank you for saving the box tops
and labels for education. The
collection box is located in the
hallway above the mailboxes
across from the offices. Please check the expiration
date on the box tops. General Mills will NOT accept
box tops that have expired.
We appreciate your support! Each box top is worth
$.10 and they add up fast. The teachers can use this
money for things not covered in their budget.
JULY 2015 • PRINTS OF PEACE 8
Summer Sonshine for your Soul Summer is here, but as the days are heating up, do you find
your faith growing cold? It can be tempting to trade time with
God for that Brewer game or barbeque! But don’t let your faith
burn out just because it’s time for summer break. Pack your
picnic bag with these faith essentials, and stay burning bright
for Jesus all summer long!
Sonscreen – Prayer. Cover yourself with prayer every day
for protection from burnout.
Snacks – Scripture. Taste and see the Lord is good all
summer by packing your favorite Scripture verses with you in
bite-sized pieces to nibble on throughout the day.
Songlasses – Focus. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and you
won’t be blinded by temptations that distract you from
following your faith.
Beach mat – Rest. Take a break from stress…and find your
rest in Jesus. CV daily editors The Witness Ministry would like a new or updated
digital picture for the Fall/Winter 2015 Telephone
Directory!
What we need from you is a family or individual photo taken
sometime this summer. We are looking for pictures of you and your
family doing what you do best! Whether you are into hiking or biking,
traveling or cooking, Milwaukee Brewers, climbing the Colorado
mountains or volunteering, attending a special event or sitting with
your favorite pet, we want a picture of YOU!
Photos can be sent electronically through email to Brigetta
Wingender at [email protected] or drop off a hard copy at the
church office (attention – Cindy Romnek) in an envelope with your
name and phone number, as well as all of the people in the photo.
Photos will be scanned and returned. Our goal is to have as many
individual and family photos as we can by August 31st. If you or your
family are not able to submit a photo, we can take a photo of you at
church. If you would like more information, please contact Brigetta
Wingender – 882-0057 or Cindy Romnek – 739-5255.
Don’t forget to share the adventures of FLAT JESUS by emailing
pictures to [email protected].
PoP Family Night at
the Timber Rattlers
Game
Take me out to the ball
game…take me out to the
park…buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks.
Make plans NOW to join us as the Rattlers battle
Peoria on Monday, July 29th at 7:05 p.m. It is
“bang for your buck” night at the stadium too.
Hot dogs and sodas are only $1.00 each.
Tickets are $8.00 each and space is limited.
Call Howard Ahrens at 687-9148 or Cindy
Romnek at 739-5255 to reserve your tickets, or
if you would like more information.
Where is “Flat” Jesus? Flat Jesus is one of the Prince of Peace summer
take home missions. It is a fun way for the
whole congregation, to keep connected as
a community of faith during the summer
months.
Flat Jesus is a physical reminder that Jesus is
always with us (Matthew 28:20), and that we
are always connected with one another, as the
body of Christ (1Corinthians 12:12-26).
Don’t forget to share the adventures of Flat
Jesus by emailing pictures (and stories!) to
[email protected], and look for your
photos and everyone else’s on the large Flat
Jesus display on Sunday mornings. We will also
post Flat Jesus on the PoP Facebook page. Flat
Jesus is available at the PoP “Welcome” window
in the narthex.

PARENTS AND OTHER CARING
ADULTS NEEDED! Our youth & confirmation ministries need you. Yes, you!
In order to help our young people grow a faith that is
vibrant and deep, we need caring adults and parents to
come alongside them. This ministry is FUN. It is SPIRIT-
FILLED. It is a JOURNEY! Contact Gloria Allhiser if you’re
interested in being a part of our confirmation ministry
this year, or if you’re interested in just learning more.

PARAMENTS/CANDLE VOLUNTEER FOR JULY
Kelley Carpenter
Proverbs 31 Ministries Proverbs 31 Ministries is a website designed for women by
women. It offers daily devotions sent right to your inbox
and online Bible Studies involving women from around
the world. The online Bible studies allow you to participate
from the comfort of your own home at a time that's
convenient for you. Your level of involvement is whatever
you can commit to. All you have to do is register for the
study and purchase the book the study is built on. You will
receive emails Monday through Friday with information on
what chapters to read. Also included are thought provoking
questions and a comment section that connects you with
other Bible study members and the leaders. If you want
more involvement, there are optional opportunities to
participate in small groups or live events on Facebook and
Twitter. Each study also offers a conference call series that
allows you to hear the author and other women speak on
the book's topic.
The next online study began on Monday, June 22, and is
based on The Mended Heart by Suzie Eller. It's not too
late to join. Check the website at www.proverbs31.org for
further details.
