There we celebrate sitting at the table in the presence of our enemies, and the cup is filled to overflowing. Using this image we respond to God&#8217;s call to peace with a ritual of anointing. These peace-worship resources use movement, image, art, and ritual to explore the theme of peace. They begin with the idea that art (construction) is the opposite of war (destruction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is difficult to do art together in a time of worship, there are ways of making art to interact together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please use these ideas as guidelines to adapt to your congregation&#8217;s context. The children&#8217;s worship connects with the prayers of the people through a prayer movement. Please feel free to change, adapt, or print material as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FOCUS STATEMENT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>God fills our cup to overflowing with what is needed to work for peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAIN SCRIPTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Psalm 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 1; Matthew 6:9-13; 2 Corinthians 5:18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_fr.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:450px\" aria-label=\"Embed of peace_sunday_2013_fr.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-850fcc3a-aa27-4da1-b0d2-aabf5f970dad\" href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_fr.pdf\">peace_sunday_2013_fr<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_fr.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-850fcc3a-aa27-4da1-b0d2-aabf5f970dad\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_es.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:450px\" aria-label=\"Embed of peace_sunday_2013_es.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-f96cb5f8-022d-4cc4-a29f-f0b4bb9cd861\" href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_es.pdf\">peace_sunday_2013_es<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_es.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-f96cb5f8-022d-4cc4-a29f-f0b4bb9cd861\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_en.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:450px\" aria-label=\"Embed of peace_sunday_2013_en.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-f3e4c739-9da6-459b-b24d-9f0fd19a69c1\" href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_en.pdf\">peace_sunday_2013_en<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/peace_sunday_2013_en.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-f3e4c739-9da6-459b-b24d-9f0fd19a69c1\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","network":[142],"resourcetype":[381],"language":[165,168,167],"resourcecategory":[1365],"resourcetheme":[317],"eventcategory":[365],"class_list":["post-17417","mwcresource","type-mwcresource","status-publish","hentry","network-peace-commission","resourcetype-pdf","language-en","language-es","language-fr","resourcecategory-worship-resource-2","resourcetheme-peace","eventcategory-peace-sunday"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Peace Sunday 2013 - worship resource - Mennonite World Conference<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/resources\/peace-sunday-resource-2013\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Peace Sunday 2013 - worship resource - Mennonite World Conference\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This Peace Sunday worship material is provided by the Peace Commission of Mennonite World Conference.
