Outreach Ministries
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
- Matthew 25:35-36
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
-1 John 3:18
As Christ continues to demonstrate his love to you, find some time to demonstrate Christ’s love to others within your community. At Prince of Peace, we hope to make that a little easier by providing some descriptions of ways our members are already involved – please consider giving your time, even if you can only give one hour a month. If you are hesitant to commit, please see the Events Page, and try to attend some of the many fundraisers throughout the year that contribute to these organizations.

Prince of Peace Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) MOPPET Program
MOPS International is a respected international and ecumenical outreach ministry that strives to meet the needs of every mom with children from birth through kindergarten. Sturgeon Bay MOPS is held in Prince of Peace from 9:00-11:30 AM on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday mornings of each month. While women from the community build friendships, encourage each other and gain practical parenting strategies through teaching, guest speakers, discussion and fellowship, MOPPET workers are needed to care for their children. If
you love to spend time with young children and think this ministry
might be for you, please talk to Prince of Peace member Wendy Kraemer.
