Peace United Church of Christ is located at 2714 West Market Street, at Wendover Avenue. Their website mentions a 110 year history of service in Greensboro. The cornerstone on the actual building says 1978, so the building is much newer than the church's history indicates. From their website, it appears that the congregation is quite involved in programs that benefit members of the Greensboro community in need, especially in need of food and shelter. Peace Church also does a lot to build community within the congregation. On the grounds, they have several areas to gather for fellowship and prayer and there is a playground. Sustainability initiatives are evident; the use of rain barrels and the raised-bed garden are two of their efforts to care for the environment.
Right now, the congregation in gearing up for their April 15th Spring Carnival. They will have live music, pony rides, an Easter egg hunt, a bounce house, a bake sale, and more. That would be a good time to et to know the congregation, if you are looking for a church. Curiously, year-round, the church has a giant chair outside at the street. Likely, there will be a giant bunny in it for the Spring Carnival. In the meantime, we're trying to figure out why on earth they have a giant chair outside. To be sure, it is attention getting. Should we plan a meet-up there? Meet me in the giant chair. We'll bring the coffee!
Quite a colourful chair!
