Welcome Home Project offers e-mail list.

On Earth Peace and the Association of Brethren Caregivers are collaborating on the Welcome Home Project: A Living Peace Church Response for Returning Military Personnel and Others. For nearly a year, a small committee has considered how the Church of the Brethren can respond to soldiers returning home from conflict zones and support their families.

Now an e-mail list has been created for the project. Congregations and individuals are invited to join. The list will provide family members of soldiers the opportunity to support one another as they share thoughts and feelings about their situations; and will provide Brethren with the opportunity to share ideas and network about congregational outreach and ministry ideas.

"As a Living Peace church, our denomination has much to offer people who may be hurting and need a safe place to share their feelings and receive support," said a release from the two agencies.
