Many members and friends of our congregation gathered at City Hall to rally for peace on December 22nd. The flag shown here was designed by the Sanos. |
Muslims, Jews, and Christians praying for peace together. |

We huddled together in the cold and sang songs of peace and freedom. |
Organizers encouraged people to bring their whole families. All generations were represented on this day! |

Rabbi Shelly Lewis (a long-time friend of our congregation) and a Muslim boy prayed together from their common sacred texts. |
Jeff Vamos helped introduce the speakers. |

Christianity was well represented by Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, Quakers, and Lutherans. |
Pastor Jones from our sister congregation, Covenant Presbyterian Church, led the music program. |

The candlelight portion of the service was incredibly moving. Seen here are a group of Muslim children, praying for peace. |
Blessed are the peacemakers, young and old. May we all pray for peace in the coming year. |
