Jenna also wrote the <a href=\"https:\/\/specialofferings.pcusa.org\/resource\/2019-pgw-childrens-sermon\/\">Children\u2019s Sermon<\/a> and the resource for <a href=\"https:\/\/specialofferings.pcusa.org\/resource\/2019-pgw-connections-congregation-and-worship\/\">Connecting Worship and the Congregation<\/a>, which includes great ideas for artwork, hymns, and prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, invite the children of your congregation to help in putting together a Peace &amp; Global Witness display, whether it be for their classroom or the sanctuary. We encourage you to consider allowing your young people to draw pictures for the display depicting what peace looks like to them. Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/specialofferings.pcusa.org\/resource\/2019-pgw-display-instructions\/\">these easy instructions<\/a> and you will have your very own Offering display in no time.<\/p>\n<p>If you use any of our materials in promoting the Peace &amp; Global Witness Offering, we invite you to share feedback on how it was received. We are also available to answer any questions you might have about these or any other Special Offerings resource.
