Every year on the Sunday closest to September 21, we celebrate Peace Sunday to commemorate the United Nations’ International Day of Peace:
Today, amidst staggering volatility, the search for peace feels overwhelming—but it has never been more urgent.
Peace is more than the absence of war; it is the foundation necessary to collectively tackle humanity’s challenges. It is the lived experience of safety, dignity, opportunities and cooperation in our daily lives.
Under the theme “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” this year’s International Day of Peace honours the ‘everyday architects of peace’—people driving local action, laying the groundwork for stability, and building a lasting peace from the ground up.
Remember, peace isn’t just built in conference rooms—it is shaped by everyone, everywhere, every day.
Our 10am service on Sunday, September 20 will conclude with a procession to the Peace Pole in the Holly Garden as we join our voices in songs and prayers for peace.
