United for Peace

'Sweet Treats'

All their guests received a dish of ice-cream with a peace dove shaped sugar cookie placed on the side. This was the perfect sweet to finish off the church luncheon.

The United Church Women of Bridgewater United Church in Nova Scotia hosted a soup luncheon to raise funds for United for Peace. In addition they have also sold pins and raised approximately $2,000.00 to support the campaign. Thanks to Ruth Rudderham for this story and pictures.

You are invited...

As a comunity of faith, we are called to participate together with others in the struggle for the right to a just peace with dignity for all God's people. The United Church of Canada is committed to pursuing peace. One expression of this committment is the United for Peace Campaign.

You are invited to share stories and pictures of United for Peace activities from your pastoral charge, presbytery and conference. The campaign began on November 4th, 2007 and will end December 2009:

LEARN about the root causes of violence, and about the work of partners in Canada and around the world to prevent conflict and support recocilliation.

ACT by calling on the Canadian government to take actions that promote peace around the world.

GIVE to support Canadian and global partners as they work for peace with justice for all people.
