Where:

The Houston Mennonite Church

1231 Wirt Road (North of I-10)

Time:

5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Decade of Nonviolence-Houston invites you to a holiday event at the Houston Mennonite Church, 1231 Wirt Road (North of I-10) so that we can share food, fun and fellowship to talk about Beyond the Decade: Where do we go from  here? The Decade of Nonviolence is a movement. Regardless of the wars and rumors of war that float throughout the world, peacemakers ARE making an effort and we are also making a DENT in the violent aspects of our lives. Come learn about Compassionate Communication, Peace Camp, Peace Education in Schools, and yes, The Peace Hour. Our work is really only just beginning.

ATTENTION: If you're an organization or group who endorses the Decade, please contact us so that we can list you in the program. In addition, bring your materials and information. We'll have a place set up just for you! We will be holding an auction to help raise money for the future of The Decade. Remember: Peace is an Art Form and we'll bring the creativity of peacemakers to you on this night, from 5 to 9. For more information, email us at info@thepeacehour.org or call P.K. McCary at 713-893-1304 or Judith Hoffhein at 713-863-8708.
