40 Acts of Peace

In order to provide greater focus to the 40 Days of Peace, these 40 Acts of Peace have been put together so that you have an opportunity to do something different each day during the 40 days. Your commitment to taking on the challenge of the 40 Acts of Peace during this period will enable you to do your part in creating YOUR community of peace and expand relational horizons by:

1. Having an awareness of ourselves and how we affect others through our words and actions

2. Taking an interest in, and a concern for, other people

3. Thinking before we act

4. Choosing how to act in each situation

It takes small steps to make great leaps on the path to peace. Make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others on your journey towards being a PEACEMAKER.
