Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 109 Hobson Ave., will celebrate becoming a Reconciling in Christ congregation at 11 a.m. Sunday.

The guest pastor is Becca Middeke-Conlin, assistant to the bishop of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod, ELCA.

"Since 1983, the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Program has been a public way for faith communities to see, name, celebrate, and advocate for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions in the Lutheran Church-ELCA. The RIC Program is made up of congregations, synods, colleges, seminaries, outdoor ministries, and other ELCA Lutheran organizations. Prince of Peace is listed on the Hot Springs PRIDE Alliance website as a welcoming to all congregation," a news release said.

Following the worship service, all are welcome to attend a reception in Friendship Hall for food, cake and ice cream, and merriment.
