Give thanks for
peacemakers and peacemaking ministries past, present and future!
2010
marks the 30th anniversary of Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling,
icon the General Assembly statement that called for a new emphasis on
peacemaking across the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and led to the
creation of the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program and the Peacemaking
Offering. This is a time to celebrate peacemaking ministries of the
past, affirm peacemaking ministries of the present and look forward to
future peacemaking ministries as we follow Jesus Christ.
Resources for the celebration include:
A Litany of Celebration on the Thirtieth Anniversary of Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling
Peace to This House and Emmanuel Live in Us - canticles by Joy Luscombe and Jeffrey Gaines for use as a call to worship
Peacemaking Scenes Through the Seasons – These six, brief skits are designed to help lift up the 30th Anniversary of the peacemaking emphasis within the Presbyterian Church.
Additional resources will be added.
Tell the Peacemaking Program about your celebration and share resources.
Participate in the 2010 Peacemaking Seminar – Re-membering Peace: Still the Believers' Calling.
Consider a special gift to the Peacemaking Offering during this anniversary celebration.
