DECORATIONS
Knox's United Church in Brookfield, Nova Scotia included the 'peace doce' in their Cristmas decorations. Every pew displays garland, ribbon and a peace dove. 
On November 4th the River Hebert United Church was decorated for the launch of "United for Peace" on Peace Sunday. The special speaker, Maurice Henri, told his story of 'Cameras for Healing'. He and his team used photography to build forgiveness between child soldiers and the people they had harmed. Sierra Leone was the place where child soldiers began. After 12 years of war this country has chosen not to retaliate but to foster a 'culture of peace'.
We chose to use the cookie cutter pattern and simple drew and cut out white paper peace doves. People signed their names on each dove and we decorated the church as shown above. This is a very easy and inexpensive way to decorate. We used blue ribbon, however it would be beautiful if you used ribbon of the Mission and Service colours. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
