Watch for plans to meet Tuesday afternoon between 5:15 and 5:45 we are gathering to offer prayers for peace – weather permitting, we will gather around the peace pole. Otherwise we will meet in the sanctuary. If you can’t join us in person, we invite you to observe this as a prayer time wherever you might happen to be.
Peace Poles are an iconic symbol of, May Peace Prevail On Earth International, founded in Japan over fifty years ago. Over the decades, Peace Poles which carry the message May Peace Prevail On Earth have been planted by supporters the world over in every region and continent on earth. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 Peace Poles in the world on every continent which have been planted over many decades.
During times of heightened public distress over new or ongoing world conflict, and to mark Orange Shirt Day, Red Dress Day, the International Day of Peace, peace sabbath, Remembrance Day, and vigils for the National Day of Mourning to name a few we gather with a broad and extended community.
