REMEMBRANCE DAY
PRAYER SERVICE AND PRAYER WALK FOR PEACE
On November 11, 2015, people from various faith communities will
gather to proclaim “Do not be overcome with evil, but
overcome evil with good” as they remember, reflect and pray for
peace in our world.
There will be an Interdenominational
Prayer Service at McDougall United Church (10025 – 101 Street) at 6:00 p.m.
Then at 7:00 p.m., participants will gather at City Hall in downtown Edmonton
for the 7th Annual Prayer Walk for Peace. There will be
four stops on the walk. The time of remembrance, reflection, and prayer will be
led by members of four different faith communities.The prayer service and
prayer walk are sponsored by the Edmonton Ecumenical Peace Network and the
Mennonite Central Committee – Alberta.
All are welcome to the Prayer Service and the Prayer Walk for Peace.
