Observing the International Day of Peace. Spencer Presbyterian Church observed the International Day of Peace in a special half-hour service on September 21, 2006. Pastor Eric Erickson offered a brief reading of scripture and, following the ringing of the church bells at noon, a prayer of peace. The service also featureed piano and vocal music for meditation.

The International Day of Peace is observed worldwide and in communities throughout the United States. People gather in prayer and meditation to share a minute of silence, ring church bells, light candles, and otherwise dedicate their day to envisioning a world at peace. By observing a holiday from violence, we reaffirm our desire to convert noble dreams of world peace into a practical reality for future generations. We pray for the shalom of God.
