"Doing together what we cannot do apart"


Workshops focus on peace resources for worship and education

Will our children know peace? This summer there are excellent resources available to teach one of the tenets of our faith: peacemaking. Come to one of the workshops led by our Ohio Conference Resource Advocate, Norma Duerksen, to learn more about using peace-related resources in the Gather 'Round Sunday school curriculum and in Leader.
