Peace Day - Unveiling of Peace Plaque: Frankston Interfaith Network

Frankston Interfaith Network invites you to:

Peace Day - "Who will You Make Peace With?"

On Sunday 22nd September come and join us for a vegetarian barbecue and the unveiling and blessing of the Frankston Interfaith Network Peace Plaque - lovingly made to incorporate the clay decorations we made to symbolise peace and to radiate peace out into our community to celebrate Peace Day.

The Peace Day theme this year is "Who will You Make Peace With?".  Peace within ourselves, our communities and around the world, an annual day of global unity, a day of intercultural cooperation.

Date: Sunday, 22nd September 2013   Time: 12.00pm - 2.00pm
Venue: Joy St., Community Garden, Joy Street Reserve, Joy Street, Frankston, Victoria  Google maps: http://goo.gl/maps/A881f

This day is also an important day for the Joy St. Community Garden community who will be celebrating alongside of us.  A day they celebrate 'Spring in the Garden' and the Spring Equinox.  A time to come together to acknowledge all the hard work they have done in bringing the beautiful community garden together.

Earlier this year in February the Frankston Interfaith Network planted an olive tree as a symbol of peace & harmony within the Frankston Community at the launch of the Joy St community garden. You can see a short video of the day on Frankston TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s4peQRawb0

Background on the 'Peace One Day' Initiative
We have been following an event called the 'Peace One day' initiative for a few years now. It is a global event and we felt it would be a good idea to link in with the energy of this day to unveil our peace plaque, to help support it and to help contribute in some way to generating Peace in our part of the world.  So as part of a global event 'Peace One Day 'we will be joining with others around the world to focus on and reflect on Peace.

The theme this year is "Who will You Make Peace With?". Peace within ourselves, our communities and around the world, an annual day of global unity, a day of intercultural cooperation.

You can find out more information about "Peace One Day" at http://peaceoneday.org.  There is also a faith group which they call the faith coalition which aims to bring together some of the world's most prominent religious figures together. Here, the Founder of the Elijah Interfaith Institute shares his personal reflections on Peace Day, the theme of 'Who Will You Make Peace With?', and the transformative power of prayer to radiate peace http://peaceoneday.org/faith-coalition/

Pray together on peace day for a more peaceful and sustainable world.
