What are your plans for Sunday, July 4, 2010?
- The Fourth of July falls on a Sunday this year and the Peace and Justice Support Network has several resources to assist congregations wrestling with their relationship to the State.
- Christian Citizenship Sunday worship resources
http://peace.mennolink.org/resources/ccsunday04/index.html - Good Citizenship Guide for Peace-seeking Christians, available as a PDF file or to order from Mennonite Publishing Network
- Christian Pledge of Allegiance
http://store.mpn.net/productdetails.cfm?PC=693 - “Faith and Politics,” an overview of biblical encounters with the government and what an Anabaptist’s role may be today
http://peace.mennolink.org/articles/faithpol.html - “Mennonites and the Flag,” an explanation concerning the delicacy of Mennonites intersecting with the flag and the pledge
http://peace.mennolink.org/articles/flag_reflections.html - "Thank God," thoughts on God’s blessings for all the nations of the world
In order to be near the International Day of Prayer for Peace, this year’s Peace Sunday is September 19. However, some congregations use Peace Sunday resources at other times of the year. If this (or a past) year’s theme makes sense for the first weekend of July, go for it.
