This offering is about equipping the peacemakers. Attaining lasting peace – in a war-torn country, a gang-ridden neighborhood, a community that has lost their water supply – is not something you and I can easily fix on our own. It takes study, organizing, consensus building, government cooperation, and long-term fund-raising. But there are organizations and programs that are doing this work already and need our ongoing assistance.
A gift to thePeace and Global Witness Offering enables the entire church to collaborate in this proclamation of Christ’s peace.
We will collect the offering throughout September, with a dedication on World Communion Sunday, October 6.
