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.
These workshops are intended for pastors, worship committees, education committees, teachers and church librarians. Registration is $10 per congregation and is payable at the door.
The workshop will be offered in four locations throughout the state:
