*We are sending 1000 peace cranes to the Cobequid United Church of Canada Pastoral Charge in Nova Scotia, Florence Antle-Brison, pastor. We do this, because after the Chardon High School shooting of 2012, Pilgrim Church was the recipient of 1000 peace cranes. This was so meaningful that a group of PCC members took up the work of folding cranes and sending them to places that had experienced similar tragedies. We have since sent cranes to churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout the USA and the world.
