We have a beautiful duck nesting on the south side of our building along the sidewalk. If you are over there, please be quiet and respectful of her space as we do not want to disturb her #ducksinspring #upcpeoria @ United Presbyterian Church of Peoria

We are working to get these back up and running as soon as possible, but they might be down for the rest of the day. If you need to reach the church today, please reach out to Pastor Laura by phone or by email. We do apologize for any inconvenience.
