Gifts of Peace
Bring peace this Easter.
Instead of chocolate, bunnies and eggs, buy a gift that makes a difference. The gift of a family of adorable baby chicks will provide a source of fresh, nutritious eggs for a family in Zimbabwe and bring a smile to your loved one's face this Easter.

The readings during this Lenten season have the Prophets of the Old Testament crying out against evil and injustice.
In their laments, they called on the God of their faith to lead them to better times, toward healing and wholeness, to stand against the tide of sin and destruction.
