Call for Artwork and Stories
2011 poster
The Peacemaking Program is seeking original artwork submissions for the 2012 Peacemaking Offering and for future publications, articles, and resources. We are also seeking stories of peacemaking efforts by worshiping communities, members, and mid-councils and how those efforts are creating positive change at all levels of community. Once again, the theme for the 2012 Peacemaking Offering is “A harvest of justice is sown in peace.” Additional topics and concerns for artwork and stories include human rights, human trafficking, anti-bullying, domestic violence, non-violence, civility and respectful dialogue. More information and submission guidelines will be posted soon.
Blessed are the peacemakers …
The General Assembly’s adoption of Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling, which called for an emphasis on peacemaking, paved the way for this offering, which seeks to promote the Peace of Christ across the PC(USA). Individual congregations are encouraged to utilize a large portion of this offering to sustain their local peacemaking ministries.
