Peace and Global Witness Offering

 

What is Giddings-Lovejoy Presbytery doing to serve as a Peacemaker? Guns to Gardens is a ministry of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship and is part of the Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy Dismantling Racism and White Privilege Team. In the last two years G2GSTL has sponsored gun recycling (to be turned into garden tools) events, informative sessions on abating gun violence, and cohort training in the St. Louis area.

How is the money collected by the Peace and Global Witness Offering spent? Here are a few ideas of the cost of specific items:

· Supplies for displaced students $30

· Refugee food basket $50

· Teacher training $85

These gifts add up to a greater impact, considering all the churches involved. Online the Presbyterian Giving Catalog gives lots of ideas for specific gifts. No matter what is chosen, it all adds up and has impact. Be part of that and give generously.
