Care
We Are Here to Serve You
Our Care Ministry has several
resources available to help people through the
church office,
972-447-9887. Professional help is available through
Lutheran Counseling Service,
214-336-1866, and volunteer Stephen
Ministers can be arranged through Judy
Laun, 972-416-4843.
Families in Need of a Car
We have two families who need transportation but cannot buy a car. Neither one can qualify for a bank loan, they have maxed out their credit cards, and they do not have the savings to purchase a car. They have full time jobs, and could pay for the taxes, insurance, and general maintenance. The gift of a car gives a family the means to get to work and school without missing a rent or utility payment. Typically, the cars we receive are high mileage, functional vehicles that simply get people across town. If you have a car to donate that is ready to pass inspection, or needs less than $500 in repairs, please contact Dave Rahberg at 972-447-9887, ext. 429 or dave.rahberg@princeofpeace.org.
We have one volunteer mechanic who inspects the cars. We pay for the parts that need repair. He could use some “wrench turning” help, too. If you want to help support the car ministry with a cash donation, please make that note on your check. With your gifts, we can help families in a meaningful way.
