These musicians make peace seem less of an impossible dream to those who hear them. We also vote on modest grants for people wishing to attend a conference. Applicants must explain how this project will further the cause of peace, and how they will use their new information. We have recently given money to three organizations that work with refugees. Currently we are offering to partner with a local church to help a refugee family get established.
Every year is somewhat different.
This is just the financial side of what the Peace-making Committee does. We would like to do more. Please promote the Peacemaking Offering in your congregation. And look around for a special way your church can promote the peace.
