Vacancy Pastor, Rev. Robert Krestick, continues to lead us each Sunday in Bible Study and Worship. For the next two weeks, while Pastor Krestick is on his mission trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Pastor James Schnarr will be leading the Sunday Services and Bible Class as well as teaching confirmation and visiting shut-ins. We appreciate and thank them for offering to help us out during this vacancy. If you should have any Pastoral needs during our vacancy, please call one of our Elders. They will address your concerns to the appropriate Pastor.
We give thanks to our Lord that Pastor Krestick and the ZION Mission team have arrived safely in Costa Rica and have started their mission work.
Pastor Call Notes
On Sunday January 6, 2019, the voting members of Prince of Peace elected Pastor Dan Abraham, currently the Pastor at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Simcoe, Ontario to lead us and be our shepherd here at Prince of Peace in Burlington.
Since that Call meeting, Pastor Abraham has acknowledged receipt of our call documents and has also advised us that he has received another call at the same time to St. Peters Lutheran Church in Stratford. That means that he has three calls to consider at this time ie his own congregation in Simcoe, plus the calls to Stratford and Burlington.
Please pray for Pastor Abraham and his congregation in Simcoe, the congregation in Stratford and our congregation as he considers these Calls. The Lord’s Will, will be done.
Confirmands Retreat – February 22-24 – At Trinity Lutheran Church (30 Erie Avenue North, Fisherville) is for youth enrolled in Confirmation Classes as well as those who are already Confirmed (up to Grade 12).

YOUTH NIGHT. The youth of Trinity, Fisherville and Prince of Peace, Burlington are invited to Pilgrim for a games night January 18, 2019 from 7-9pm. Bring the board games your families have or the ones you got for Christmas. We’d like anyone who continues to be interested in attending the National Lutheran Youth Gathering to attend because you will meet others who are going. Anyone who would just like to be with other young people are certainly welcome to come out for a fun evening. This is an event for both Confirmation and high school age youth. Parents, please encourage your children to attend. “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12).
