"On Earth as in Heaven -- Praying for Peace"
Peace Sunday Packet for 2008
Peace Ministries
Peace Sunday is an annual opportunity to preach, teach and reflect upon the gospel of peace proclaimed and embodied by Jesus Christ. At a time of year when our nation honours military service, Peace Sunday reminds us of Jesus' call to love our enemies, to resist evil nonviolently, and to live as people of peace.
MCC Canada encourages Canadian Anabaptist congregations to observe Peace Sunday in early November, preferably just prior to Remembrance day. MCC's Peace sunday Packet is intended to help you prepare a worship service, and to plan special activities for families and youth groups. This year's theme is On Earth as in Heaven -- Praying for Peace. A new addtion this year is a video presentation that can be incorporated into the worship service or used in another setting.
