Walk for Peace Homecoming Event
Join us at the Light Center for “Walk for Peace, Homecoming” — a heartfelt gathering dedicated to peace, prayer, and coming back to what truly matters. This special event invites our old timers, our steady friends, and those walking through our doors for the very first time to stand side by side in unity for our world.
Together we will take an inspirational walk, lift our prayers, and reconnect as one community grounded in love, light, and shared purpose. In a time when the world feels divided and uncertain, this is a moment to come home — to peace, to fellowship, and to the light within us all. All are welcome.
