We will be building more Peace Crosses soon! Watch this space for more information!

As we approached Easter in 2024, we couldn't help but notice that our world is filled with division and tension, even though this is not what God desires for us. The Bible says, in 2 Thessalonians 3:16, "May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way." This is only one of hundreds of mentions of peace in the Old and New Testaments, and we would love to offer our community a symbol of God's Peace this Easter.

Here are a few verses about peace:
