Peace Day

The International Day of Peace was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981, and was first celebrated September 1982.  This day provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of Peace on a shared date.



In celebration of love, peace, and tolerance, our church sponsors a Peace Day Festival in Rockport, every year during the month of September.  Activities include art, music, song, dance, drama, poetry, puppetry, story telling, and children’s activities.



Individuals and Nations, acting in concert, DO make a difference in the quality of our lives, our institutions, our environment and our planetary future.  Through cooperation, we manifest the essential Spirit that unite us amid our diverse ways.




Giant puppets “Flock of Doves” from the Mortal Beasts & Deities Troop. Each graceful dove puppet is performed by a stilt dancing puppeteer. Awesomely large, the doves are roughly 10 feet tall with a 10 foot wingspan, depending on the puppeteer and stilt height. The doves have papier mache heads and fleece bodies covered with lots of fluttery feathers.

May Peace Prevail on Earth
