Community Peace Garden

Topeka Community of Christ maintains a Community Peace Garden on our property, to provide a place to reflect upon the sacredness of God’s creation.
As a denomination we believe in the Sacredness of Creation and encourage disciples to seek out ways in which they can nurture God’s creation. We share the peace of Jesus Christ by caring for one another, for all people, and for the earth itself, and invite others to come, be transformed and then go forth to serve others.
|
Produce is grown in this garden, with the harvest donated to those in need, which aligns with our mission initiative to Abolish Poverty and End Needless Suffering.
We work to Abolish Poverty & End Suffering by reaching out through compassionate ministries, in partnership with other faith communities and organizations that serve the poor and hungry and stop conditions that diminish the worth of persons.
We have added a boardwalk with a wheelchair ramp to make the garden more accessible to our developmentally and physically challenged friends.
If you would like to assist with this project, please contact Elder Joel Edwards.

Plastic Bag Recycling Project

We invite you to join the Topeka Community of Christ congregation in reducing plastic that would go to the land fill and reduce plastic pollution by recycling. Our goal is to place a bench made from recycled plastic bags, hopefully more than one, in our Topeka Congregation Community Peace Garden.

“Sue for peace, not only the people that have smitten you, but also to all people; and lift up an ensign of peace, and make a proclamation for peace unto the ends of the earth; and make proposals for peace, unto those who have smitten you, according to the voice of the Spirit which is in you, and all things shall work together for your good; therefore, be faithful, and, behold, and lo, I am with you even unto the end. Even so. Amen.” D&C 102:11
Daily Prayer for Peace
The Daily Prayer for Peace is a powerful witness of Community of Christ’s commitment to peace. Such regular, public expression symbolizes the church’s unrelenting pursuit of peace as God’s intent for a bruised and divided world.
The Daily Prayer for Peace worship service is held at 1PM (central time USA), 365 days a year. Each day a prayer is offered for a specific country based on the World Council of Churches’ ecumenical prayer cycle, which joins our prayers with that of Christians throughout the world.
Please visit the Community of Christ website for additional information regarding the Daily Prayer for Peace.
Please join with us in prayer from wherever you are.

You are invited to join us every Wednesday, online from the Community of Christ Temple in Independence, Missouri, as we unite in prayer for a peaceful world, engaging in this transformative journey together.
