Peace Day - September 21


2014 Theme: “Visions and Dreams of Building Peace” “Your young people will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams.” —Joel 2:28 | Acts 2:17

Church of the Brethren congregations are invited to include special prayers for peace as part of Sunday services, September 21. Will you join all those around the world whose hearts are broken and lives are shattered by violence, by praying and acting for peace that day? September 21 can be a time for your congregation to lift up your concerns about violence and brokenness, and to ask God for a vision about how you can respond. Some congregations also plan public events or prayer services to connect with the broader community. You can find stories from previous Peace Day events, along with online registration, prayer resources, half-page activity sheets, children’s peace mural kits, and more, online here: www.peacedaypray.org.
