We have a lot of amazing things going on here at Prince of Peace. We are feeding, clothing, helping and serving those in need in so many ways right here in our local community. And we have so many other ministries and events to help you meet people, share your talents, improve your relationships, answer life’s toughest questions, discern the plan and purpose for your life, and to grow closer to God.
 
We have a tremendous community here. And we want to make sure it’s as easy as possible for every one of you to be involved and connected to it all.
 
So, we’ve adopted a new and improved way of communicating that will make it much simpler for you to get the information you want from us! It’s powered by a service called Flocknote. Like sending a "note" to your "flock". Flocknote.
 
This is all totally free for you to use, you don’t even have to download anything or create a password in order to participate. You just take a couple minutes to sign up and it lets you receive email or text messages from the groups and ministries that you choose. It even allows you to reply directly back to those messages so we can get feedback and hear from you in an efficient manner.
 
Your info is kept totally private and, again, it lets you choose precisely which groups and ministries you want to get email and text messages from here at Prince of Peace.
 
So you can choose things like choir, youth group, and special events.
 
In addition to regular group and ministry communication, we’ll also use this to send you important updates about special events coming up, inclement weather announcements, and: last minute changes.
 
And it’s important for you to know that you can update your communication preferences or unsubscribe from any of these updates at any time!
  
So, now that you have your cell phone out, I'd like you to text message the letters POPLV to the SHORT 5-digit phone number 84576.  So again, text the five letter keyword POPLV to eight — four — five — seven — six. POPLV is for Prince of Peace Lake Villa. POPLV is all one word, no spaces. And make sure your auto-spelling-corrector on your phone doesn't mistakenly change the text. :) 
 
Once you send that in, Flocknote will text you back a confirmation message AND another message with a link you’ll need to click to complete the process.
 
One more time: text POPLV to 84576. Then after it texts you back, make sure you click that link and complete the process, choosing what updates you’d like from us. Please take a minute to do this now.
 
If you can’t complete this on your mobile phone, please go online to:
flocknote.com/PrinceofPeaceLV.
 
We’re on a mission here at Prince of Peace and we want you to be a part of it.  This is a great opportunity for you to get plugged in to the many wonderful things we have going on here. If you're having trouble, please talk to one of our staff. We'd be happy to help! Thank you for participating. This is really going to simplify communication and increase engagement here in our community.
