National Service for Peace in Iraq

Washington, D.C. and your community
March 6-10, 2008
Pray and Act for Peace

The United States continues to occupy Iraq, so Christian Peace Witness for Iraq must continue to 'speak their peace' through worship and witness.
We invite you, your family, your congregation and your neighbors to come again to the nation's capitol from Thursday, March 6, 2008 through Monday, March 10 to pray and act for peace in Iraq.
On the same date, we also invite you to create worship services in your community.
We hope to have more than 200 local vigils empowering participants to advocate for peace in their communities, countries and the world.
Together we will fill houses of worship, remembering and learning anew the ways of the Prince of Peace. Then we will carry our public witness to the halls of government power, calling our leaders to embody values fundamental to the Christian tradition—and shared in other traditions—that truly make for communities of prosperity, security, and justice.
We'll need your help--prayer, time, talents and financial donations.
