Peacemaking Logos

Your Peacemaking Offering contribution to the presbytery assists our congregations to better help those people within their own communities who are seeking peace and justice. Your giving allows for “justice to roll down like waters.” Amos 5:24

Please plan to give generously to the Peacemaking Offering.
October 5, 2008 - World Communion & Peacemaking Sunday

The Global Mission/Peacemaking Committee of the Outreach and Social Concerns Unit with the support of the congregations of The Presbytery of Elizabeth that participate in the Peacemaking Offering on the First Sunday in October has purchased and promoted the presbytery’s own Coffee Project by purchasing Fairly Traded coffees and teas from the same provider used by The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Equal Exchange organization seeks ways to directly help the growers and farmers of these coffees and teas from around the world.

The Two Cents a Meal packet was created to assist congregations in interpreting the issues of hunger in our state, nation and the world. This resource provides information, minute-for-mission presentations in the local congregation as well as other activities for the congregation to effectively interpret the needs of many people here and abroad who are affected by hunger.
