There will be ample time for questions and comments.

This is a VERY timely topic right now, as the U.S. government is, for the first time in many years, having conversations with Iran and other nations on the topic of nuclear disarmament.  The program title was inspired by Isaiah 2:1-4.

We anticipate that this meeting may provide an informal opportunity for us all to discuss ways in which veterans might help churches promote peace in the world.

You will find attached to this message an MS-Word document file.  Please download and print some copies of this two-page document. The first page has duplicate copies of a publicity piece for this month's program. Print copies and cut the sheets in half for a convenient hand-out or bulletin insert. If the two pages are printed back-to-back then there will also be provided some general information about ECAPC. Distribute as widely as possible at your church and elsewhere as you see fit.
