Worship Resource

Peace Sunday 2025

Enacting love is a courageous act.
Over and over again, Jesus invites and encourages his followers (and listeners) to embody acts of love, highlighting how dangerous – and therefore courageous – such acts are or can be.
These Peace Sunday resources seek to explore, nourish and unpack ways in which we can embody the courage to love in and for our world.
