A peace vigil will be held at 9 a.m. on Sept 21 at St. George Episcopal Church for International Day of Peace.

The  public is invited to meditate and pray for peace around the world.

In 1981 the United Nations General Assembly voted that each year the International Day of Peace would be observed around the world on Sept. 21. The United Nations has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideal both within and among all nations and its people. The unsettled situations in the mid-eastern countries today need attention by the world population.

Artists will be available during the day to draw their illustrations of Peace in the world.

Awards will be given for the best art design and peace description. A

rt judging will start at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. there will be a gathering at the Labyrinth (behind the church buildings) and host a candlelight song fest of Peace songs led by Vicar Bonnie Malone, music director Charlotte Dike, members of the St. George Choir and musicians, Bri and Lauren.
