Guns to Garden Tools – Coming Sunday, Nov. 12, 2017

October 11, 2017

Poster promoting the Guns to Garden Tools Event.

Update: Thanks to all those who came out for the service and afternoon event. You can listen to Mike Martin’s message. More photos and videos will be added soon.

RAWTools takes guns and melds them into garden tools.

They’ll be joining us from Colorado on Sunday, Nov. 12, 2017 for this event focused on bringing attention to the two-thirds of gun deaths in the U.S. — completed suicide.

From 12-4 pm we’ll have opportunities to consider the ways to engage in peacemaking through an art fair and raffle.  All proceeds go towards gun violence prevention in North Carolina.

We’ll have children’s projects, a food truck, and art demonstrations, along with resources on mental health.

At 10:30 that morning we’ll have a worship service to remember and lament gun violence in our country.

Join us!
