Simi Valley United Methodist Church Peace Pole for Ten-year Anniversary, Simi Valley California, USA

October 1, 2025
IDP 2025

The Simi Valley United Methodist Church celebrated ten years of dedication to the message on our limestone Peace Pole, written in 14 different languages, on the International Day of Peace.  Preceding worship services, I handed out buttons that read: May Peace Prevail On Earth.

Then the worship service was filled with music, scripture, and sermon notes about peace.  Immediately following, Pastor Stacy led the ceremony of rededication around the Peace Pole.  The local newspaper, Simi Valley Acorn, was there and the story about the event was in the next issue of the paper.  

It was a beautiful, peaceful day.
