Embrace LOVE & PEACE …

See the progress we have made! …

We grieve for those who are killed and those whose lives are forever changed;

We seek to comfort those who have lost loved ones;

We pray for a change of heart for those who resort to violence….

“One of the greatest sins a church can commit is being boring and irrelevant…To represent the Gospel, the church has to recognize and take a stand on the ethical issues of its times, or else what is it for?”

Christopher B. Hayes | Professor, Fuller Theological Seminary

“While you may choose to be silent when it comes to gun violence out of concern for who may anger, your silence is also sending a message to those who are most impacted by gun violence [women, children, youth, LGBTQ+, and people of color] that their trauma and suffering don’t matter.”

Deanna Hollas | Presbyterian Peace Fellowship

“We promised our children and grandchildren a better, kinder and gentler world when we leave. But instead, what have they got, a world full of violence, hate and prejudice. We screwed up, didn’t we?” -Ken Hon

The picture and video were taken at Ken’s granddaughters’ elementary school in MA after the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, TX in May 2022 when 19 young students and 2 teachers were killed. This picture and the video inspired Ken to ask the EPC Men to act at our Men’s Breakfast meeting which inspired the creation and organization of the conference.

the May 6th conference consisted of the three sections below

  • Brief Highlights ...

    The first briefly highlights the rise of hate, prejudice, and violence today.

  • CHRIST'S Message ...

    The second digs into Christ’s message within the context of His own violent world.

  • HOW do WE RESPOND?

    The final section asks, how do we respond to our current circumstances, what sort of community is required & before we leave, what will we agree to be our mission and action steps as individuals, as a church and as the larger community of churches?
