“A Season of Peace” begins September 7 and completes October 5, World Communion Sunday. The Peacemaking Offering will be collected during that time.
What does “A Season of Peace” mean? PCUSA has made a commitment to be active in working to transform cultures of violence into communities of peace. That may mean working to end violence against women, children or others, establishing lines of communication with groups and communities with whom there is little contact, and many other initiatives.
Our participation in the Peacemaking Offering provides funds for those programs and St. Mark will retain 25% of the total for local use. Session voted that those funds would go to the Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services of Missouri and St. Martin Peace Meal.
