Pastor Peter preached at the installation service of Pastor Elijah Mwitanti yesterday at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fairfax, Virginia. Pastor was instrumental in guiding Pastor Mwitanti, a Baptist missionary from Zambia, on to the ELCA clergy roster from his days in Long Valley. Pictured below Pastors Peter and Dale are with Elijah and Kerris, and with their goddaughter Heather.
Led by the Holy Spirit, a committee at Prince of Peace formed to build a memorial garden for pregnancy and infant loss. At today's meeting, we sat in the spot where the garden will be built and finalized the name for this sacred space: Tree of Life Chapel. Please keep this ministry in your prayers as we seek to create a safe place for healing in our community. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to contact Vicar Kayla.

There are many ways to acknowledge someone, but having a street named in one’s honor stands out. That’s how our town chose to show its appreciation for community organizer Bernt Midland, via the naming of the main road running through West Windsor Community Park.![]()

Born in Englewood NJ in 1927, Bernt worked as a marketing engineer with IBM until his retirement in 1988. He then devoted his time to myriad township initiatives. He served on numerous WW committees, including the Bicentennial, Recreation, and Park Planning committees, among others. Bernt was a Historical Society of West Windsor trustee, a founding member of the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, a Lion’s Club member, and a founding President of the Friends of West Windsor Open Space. ![]()

In December of 1997, West Windsor named the main road running through the community park after him, largely because his involvement in open space projects was instrumental in helping the town acquire the park. It remains a memorial to one of our town’s staunchest advocates for a place where residents can play and grow.
We had a good morning at the St Bart’s Food Pantry this morning. Thanks to Con, Lisa, and Nancy for helping distribute over 50 bags of food.
