Peace Pole Re-Dedication with Rev. M’ellen Kennedy
Twenty years ago, on Sept 28, 1997, the Springfield UU Congregation dedicated the Peace Pole on the patio outside the sanctuary. We’ll commemorate this event and rededicate the Peace Pole in our intergenerational worship service on September 24. If the weather permits, part of the service will be outside on the patio.
Learning how to live peacefully in the world, with each other, with the Earth, with folks of all religions and races, is the aim of religions. We’ll tie this event in with our theme for the year, “Exploring the World’s Religions – Paths to Peace.” The choir is preparing some special music. In the service on September 24, we’ll re-dedicate not just the pole, but more importantly ourselves, to this crucial work of being instruments of peace in our beautiful and broken world. In this fractious time, peace-keepers and peace cultivators are critically needed.
Held at the church at 21 Fairground Rd, Springfield. All welcome!
