On the closest Sunday to 6 August - Hiroshima Day - Presbyterian congregations are invited to mark Peace Sunday.
Often overlooked in recent years, Peace Sunday was once marked across the country as a time of prayer and commitment, especially to a nuclear weapon free world.
Christian World Service has prepared worship resources to support New Zealand churches to join in prayer and reflect on stories of people demanding justice, defiantly standing in the way of violence and war or offering food and shelter to people who have fled their homes.
