March 19 - Fifth Anniversary

United Church of Christ 100,000 Lights for Peace

IN THE MORNING
Light a candle and begin the day with a Prayer of Lament, based on Psalm 130 and the UCC’s Pastoral Letter on the War in Iraq.

AT NOON
Take action for peace. Be a light for peace, and light up the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask to speak to your elected Members of Congress. A Meditation for Mid-Day Action is provided to undergird your spirited witness for:
- an end to the war in Iraq;
- greater responsiveness to the needs of returning soldiers and their families;
- greater U.S. aid for Iraqi refugees and others displaced by the fighting and bloodshed.

AT EVENING TIME
Join others for a candlelight vigil and tolling of church bells. “Open the way to peace in Iraq” will be our shared petition in our Evening Prayer of Hope.
