We are doing a makeover of the main homepage of the LPF website and want to include pictures of people involved in a variety of peacemaking activities and other images and artwork to illustrate the work of LPF.
Please send us action shots of you and other peacemakers in action and images or artwork of what peacemaking means to you. The best entries will be featured on the LPF website.
Ideas include:
- Take action photos of peace related events/activities in your congregation or community.
- Sunday school art projects: draw a picture of what peace means to you.
- Pick out your favorite peace related bible verse to illustrate.
- Download LPF´s Peace Deck and create original artwork based on your favorite quote.
- Illustrate the concepts of active nonviolence and conflict resolution in photos or drawings.
- Take pictures at your local foodbank or feeding program of people helping people in need.
Please submit entries by email to lutheranpeace@gmail.com (5 mb max per email) along with the author´s name so we can give them credit.
Prayer Awareness
by Miriam Teichner
God--let me be aware.
Let me not stumble blindly down the ways,
Just getting somehow safely through the days,
Not even groping for another hand,
Not even wondering why it all was planned,
Eyes to the ground unseeking for the light,
Soul never aching for a wild-winged flight,
Please, keep me eager just to do my share.
God--let me be aware.
God--let me be aware.
Stab my soul fiercely with others' pain,
Let me walk seeing horror and stain.
Let my hands, groping, find other hands.
Give me the heart that divines, understands.
Give me the courage, wounded, to fight.
Flood me with knowledge, drench me in light.
Please--keep me eager just to do my share.
God--let me be aware.
