Join with us as we tour the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a museum in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, based on the history of the Underground Railroad. Opened in 2004, the Center also pays tribute to all efforts to "abolish human enslavement and secure freedom for all people." Peace is planning a trip to Cincinnati on March 9-11th with the actual museum tour on Saturday morning at 10am, March 11th. Other Cincinnati area activities will be planned for Thursday evening and Friday. We plan to gather after the tour on Saturday as a group to process the experience. Everyone is welcome to attend.
***We are offering the tour on Saturday morning for those who are unable to spend all 3 days with us in Cincinnati, you can still meet up with us for the tour and discussion. Contact Minda Bickley with questions at mbickley@peacegahanna.org.

Souper Bowl Of Caring
|
We are now collecting monetary donations throughout the month of February.
Again this year we are partnering with other churches across the country, with NFL Alumni in Tackle Hunger for a Souper Bowl of Caring. The dollars that we raise at Peace will go directly to support Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio. Every $1 donated purchases $4 of food. There are over 48 million people hungry in the United States. Ohio has one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the country – ranking 47th. We live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world and we still have not found a way to keep 1 out of 4 children from struggling with food insecurity in Ohio. Sometimes people assume that those who struggle to make ends meet are lazy and do not work. Contrary to this assumption, 8 out of every 10 low-income Ohio households are part of the workforce. Help us as we reach out to be a part of change. This year we will be accepting monetary donations through the month of February. |
