PEACE AND JUSTICE COMMISSION

Heal The Land

Charlene Rorick, Chairperson

     One only has to turn on the television, radio or internet, let alone open the newspaper, to see that issues of peace and justice pervade our globe every hour of every day.  Each year members of our Peace and Justice Commission continue to journey into that world in the area of prayer, worship, advocacy and education. 

     Through our Heal The Land Services, prayers are offered up at sites where killings have happened through out our city, asking to "heal the land"  and reclaim our community for the God of mercy and understanding.
