Division and polarization are not new realities in the world, or in our communities. As we live our lives in families, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods – how can we live as Jesus followers in divisive times?

Jesus expressed in the Sermon On The Mount that those who are in God’s family are to be peacemakers. He commanded his followers to love even their enemies and bless those who persecute them. 

Jesus was surrounded by a culture full of conflict when he walked the earth as well. Yet he made it clear that he was inviting his followers to be distinct in a divided world. 

Pursuing the role of peacemaker isn’t the same as a peacekeeper – it is active, and intentional. To be peacemakers in our divided world, we choose to take action and pray for the Spirit’s empowerment, develop new skills and utilize effective tools.

This is why we are hosting inter-church dinners to be equipped with tools and training to be peacemakers where we live, work, learn, play and relate to others.

The content for each gathering will be identical – so choose the one that works best for you and your family. You do not need to be a member of the host church to attend. The event is free, dinner and childcare is provided. However, registration is necessary
