Path Through the Prairie


There are two paths through the prairie from the upper 
parking lot at the church.  Each is about a 15-20 minute 
walk over uneven ground with some up and down hill
sections.  There is a wonderfully diverse display of prairie
flowers, and grasses to enjoy that is not evident from the parking
lot.  There are purple and yellow coneflowers, cup flowers, thistles, 
blackeyed susans, milkweed, and mature varieties of many kinds 
of grasses.  And something different may be blooming next month.
Enjoy the prairie close up.

Pathways for Peace


Thanks to all those who created a collage 
showing the many ministries of Peace
that our congregation supports


A special award goes to Amy, Molly, Jack and Emily
for their welcoming invitations to friends and
neighbors to join in our youth activites--
JAM KIDS  and  youth camps


We have a good balance between activities that are
completely our own, and those that are
accomplished as partnerships with other--
Outreach International, Consultation of Religious
Communities, University Club Bridge, Camp Coralville, 
Scouts, and the Crisis Center.


Our outreach with the Peace of Jesus Christ
is in response to His love to us.
