What is Peace?

This Sunday at Christ Church Cathedral, five young people from St Philip's will be confirmed. As a part of their preparation for confirmation, the students learned about how the work of PWRDF responded to the Marks of Mission and how they too can live out the Marks. As one of their homework assignments, they were asked to respond to the question "What is peace?" in a creative way. They responded to this question thoughtfully and creatively and have given us permission to share the fruits of their work. See the five pieces below by each of the candidates for confirmation. Please remember them in your prayers this Sunday as they are confirmed and if you can make it to their confirmation at 4:00pm at Christ Church Cathedral, all the better!

Peace,
What is peace?
Peace holds us all
together and keeps us close,
Peace is calm and quiet

Peace is when everybody gets along
Peace is like a family,
Peace is like a still meadow
Peace is God.

Andrew Badanic - "United We Stand"

Ella Granger - "Peace is... Everybody and everything is in harmony. Peace is no war and everybody is at ease. Peace is being closer to God."

Matthew Stephens - "Peace is the world as one, not separated."

Owen Ker - "This is a picture from my family's recent trip to Hawaii when we went for a hike and found a waterfall just off the trail and went swimming together. Being in nature with my family and enjoying a relaxing swim is peace to me."
