2016 Peace Sunday: Be Still and Know that I Am God

On this Peace Sunday, we invite you to explore the nourishment and necessity of time spent with God. Our kinetic, deadline-driven world can make us believe that time spent on things that don’t appear to be “productive” is wasted.

Don’t believe it! Our peacemaking, our justice-seeking, our communities of faith will flourish when we carve out these quiet, still times alone with God. Jesus knew what was needed for his kingdom work. As we follow his path to places of great need, to relationship with those who cry out for peace, we also must follow his path to Holy time, time alone with God. “Be still, and know that I am God!” writes the psalmist. We hope these materials will help you and your church toward that stillness and that recognition.
