What’s been happening at Peace Church on 52nd?  

Peace church on 52nd has a strong community presence - between community meals, food hub, presence at local events, support of AA groups, recovery houses, and ESL teaching, we have a strong presence. Every spring and Summer, we have a community garden that beautifies our neighbourhood, and provides food for the community.  this last week we got together to get it started, and people really utilize our garden and picnic tables as a space of peace and rest.

Oftentimes, someone will knock on the door of the church and say "Someone told me that this is the place I can go to for help." and it is such a gift to have such a reputation.  We have been slowly growing, especially seeing more children attend with us.  This church hasn't had a children's program for quite some time, and we'd appreciate prayer for discernment and solutions to this gift!
