"More importantly,"

Kollmeyer added, "the "40 Days of Purpose" has accomplished

a spiritual goal by winning new people to the Lord, baptizing new believers,

and helping people find an inner peace by answering the question of why

we are here on earth."

During the 40-day event, participants

will read through The Purpose Driven Life (a short chapter each day),

memorize five key Bible verses, and explore reasons of existence.

Adults and teens also will

have the opportunity to connect with a small group which will meet each

week and discuss the key messages of the book, enjoy fellowship, and pray.

Prince of Peace will have weekly

Sunday services at 8:15, 9:30 and 11a.m., focused toward each week's

topic, along with music and drama to reinforce the messages. Children

of all ages also will hear the messages of the book in their Sunday School

classes.

Kollmeyer said that a "job

fair" will feature the church's ministries and public opportunities

for service, and "encourage people to connect their lives to a purposeful

task in God's kingdom" within the church and local community.

"By the end of the '40

Days of Purpose,'" Kollmeyer said, "participants will know

God's purpose for their lives, the big picture of their lives, and

how all the pieces of life fit together. This perspective will, therefore,

help to reduce stress, simplify decisions, increase satisfaction, and

most importantly, to help with the realization that God loves us unconditionally.

"

The simulcast kickoff on Feb.

21 also will feature praise and worship with the Prince of Peace Praise

Band. The "40 Days of Purpose" will conclude Sunday, April 18,

with a celebration event to enjoy the stories of the journey.

Prince of Peace is on Ga. Hwy.

314 between Lowe's and the Fayette Pavilion. For more information,
