4word: Des Moines December Gathering

“For to us a child is born… and he will be called… Prince of Peace.” —Isaiah 9:6

The message of Christ’s coming is peace—yet this season often feels anything but peaceful. End-of-year deadlines, holiday parties, and the pressure to make everything magical can leave us stressed and exhausted.

But Jesus reminds us, “In me you may have peace… Take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) True peace isn’t found in productivity or perfection, but in His presence.

This month at 4word, we’re focusing on what it means to practice peace—in our work, our families, and our hearts. What would it look like to be a peaceful presence with coworkers, clients, and loved ones? To set boundaries that protect your joy? To rest in the assurance that you are beloved, no matter your accomplishments?

Join us as we celebrate Christ, our Prince of Peace, and embrace the gift of His peace in every part of life.
