A Season of Peace begins September 7 and completes October 5, World Communion Sunday.
The Peace and Global Witness Offering (previously 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 com-munication with groups and communities with whom there is little contact, and many other initiatives.
Our participation in the Peace and Global Witness Offering provides funds for those programs and St. Mark Presbyterian will retain 25% of the total for local use. Session voted that those funds would go to the Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services and St. Martin Peace Meal.
