“'War
and violence are so prominent . . . when you ask people
what war is, they can answer easily — but when you
ask people what peace is, often they are at a loss,'
says Judith Sheldon, creator of the Peace Camp for
children at Fort Street Presbyterian Church in Detroit,
Michigan."
"Judith
is helping to solve this problem thanks to funding
from the Pentecost
Offering, made possible by generous people
like you. We know more children — and communities
— could benefit from programs such as Peace
Camp, but we need your support of the
Pentecost Offering to help."
"While
gifts to the Pentecost Offering support programs like
Peace Camp, 40 percent of the total raised by your
congregation is kept within your own community. Your
congregation can create and fund programs to help
the children and youth right in your own backyard.
When you make your online donation, identify your
congregation and we will send 40 percent of your gift
back to your congregation."
