May Peace Prevail on Earth

Just over a year ago we planted our Peace Pole with blessings and ardent prayers for peace in our community and in our world! Every other month we are including petitions in our prayers as a community for the five local faith and cultural groups that joined with us in this prayer for Peace.

Now it is time for us to ask again about “the things that make for Peace” and to explore new “paths of peace” as members of Christ’s body and as a community dedicated to working for “Peace and Justice” as Bishop Nelson reminded us in his sermon.

Two suggestions come to mind: Might it be time for us as a congregation to become a member of Lutheran Peace Fellowship; or, might you individually consider joining the Fellowship of Reconciliation, which is “an interfaith organization committed to active nonviolence as a transforming way of life.”

The Social Ministry Committee welcomes discussion and suggestions for how we might “seek Peace and pursue it!” Please call Gerry Swanson with comments or suggestions.
