Presbyterian Peace Fellowship - Take the pledge to preach nonviolence

Preach for Peace Last month at Ginter Park Presbyterian in Richmond, Va., I talked a bit about Fossil Free PCUSA and opportunities for congregations to work to mitigate climate change. After worship a little boy, probaby 7 or 8 years old, came up to talk with me specifically about climate change. When you preach for peace, children hear it. They understand the world that grownups are giving them is crying out desperately for peace. This year we are reaching out to preachers in our network (ordained and not) who will pledge to preach nonviolence. We want to connect with more congregations in our commitment to nonviolence and anti-racism and we want to raise some money while we do it! That's where you come in. Will you commit to preaching peace at least one time before the end of 2022 in a congregation on behalf of PPF and donate your honorarium to the organization? We can support matching you with a church or you can set up a preaching gig on your own. Once you take the pledge we'll share a toolkit with you that will offer support to preach nonviolence and anti-racism and will also have some liturgy and resources for you to utilize as you plan worship. Our goal is to raise $2500 with this campaign by the end of 2022. We already have 11 people who have taken the pledge - help us reach 20! TAKE THE PLEDGE You may also know of a congregation that would be interested in connecting with PPF to bring a Preach for Peace speaker. Be sure to check in with them first, and then share this congregational interest form with them (or fill it out on their behalf) and we'll do our best to match them with a guest preacher.
