This eight-week study is intended to be one part of a broader initiative toward building a culture of peace in your church. The Participant Guide includes the five sections of each lesson: Icebreaker, Learning Together, What Do You Think? Pray for One Another, and My Next Step. There are four optional sessions if your group would like to extend it to a 12-week study. While optional, you will benefit from completing the suggested readings in The Peacemaker each week.
