We gather in a small park in Petoskey, MI where we have planted a peace pole. We will have a women's drumming group from Greensky Indian United Methodist Church in Charlevoix (MI)followed by music and singing, a demonstration with BB pellets of the awesome nature of nuclear weapons, a prayer by Henri Nouwen (A Cry for Mercy), and presentation of our annual peace award. We close with a stroll to a nearby river where flowers will be strewn in memory of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
