We picked up our Peace Light from Iowa Religious Media Services and now have it on display in our St. Michael’s Chapel from now through the Epiphany.
Our Advent theme this year is ‘Be the Light” so this is a wonderful addition to our season. We’re asking people to stop by during the holiday season and pray for ‘Peace on Earth’—joining our prayers with others throughout the world.
Thank you for making this possible!
