It is so exciting
when small groups reach out and participate in a P.E.A.C.E. Service
Opportunity. What is P.E.A.C.E.? Here are just a few examples
of small group P.E.A.C.E. service opportunities. All P.E.A.C.E. is local because we focus on working through the local church. However there are local and global opportunities. Here are just a few.
