A message from your Congregational President:
The Prince of Peace Congregational Council has made the decision to follow the recommendation of Bishop Humphrey and has cancelled all worship services until further notice. There is a growing consensus among health care and government officials that in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus we should act immediately to limit direct person-to-person contact. This decision is based on a faithful caring of our congregation, our community and our world. It is the responsible thing to do.
While our doors may be closed, our faith continues strong. Pastor Robert, council members and our Worship Committee will be exploring alternate ways to share worship with you. Expect more on this as details are worked out. In the meantime I invite you to join me for a period of self meditation and prayer at noon each day that this continues, knowing that wherever you may be you are joining with fellow parishioners. You may wish to include this prayer of intercession provided by the ELCA:
God, our peace and our strength, we pray for our nation and the world as we face new uncertainties around coronavirus. Protect the most vulnerable among us, especially all who are currently sick or in isolation. Grant wisdom, patience, and clarity to health care workers, especially as their work caring for others puts them at great risk. Guide us as we consider how best to prepare and respond in our families, congregations, workplaces, and communities. Give us courage to face these days not with fear but with compassion, concern, and acts of service, trusting that you abide with us always; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
.Our faith will keep us strong.ace, Michael Fleming, Congregational President

Come and See!Our congregation gathers locals who grew up in Orkney Springs and Basye, newcomers who fell in love with the mountains and valleys of western Virginia, and vacationers who join us whenever they visit Bryce Resort or Shrine Mont. You are invited to join us in our worship and service in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Come and see what God is doing in our community!
Our church building rests on a bend in Route 263, between Orkney Springs and Basye. When headed west on 263 from Mount Jackson, go past the entrance to Bryce Resort (Resort Drive) and the Orkney Springs Fire and Rescue on the left and the Valley Thrift Store on the right. We are on the right hand side of the road, waiting for you!
