Gathering of Prayer for Peace

Just a week ago it was the International Day of Peace. As announced on our website, our church got involved and conducted two activities. In the first, we had a very special prayer meeting.

But before praying, we read different texts: The human dimension of a Treaty for the Regulation of International Arms Trade (TCA), another article on the defense minister Peter Morenés and finally an article written by Jonathan Frerichs on Ecumenical Campaign strong and effective treaty against illegal arms sales.

On Sunday the 23rd we conducted a special service where the main theme was Peace. It was a highly participatory worship with scripture readings where we are called to be peacemakers, with joyful praise, and prayers.
