Project Peacemakers is a body of people who are working for peace from a faith perspective and we are a local chapter of Project Ploughshares. We believe that peace is more than the absence of war. A peaceful society is one which is just and where all people are free to strive for wholeness. We try to create a peaceful society by motivating and educating ourselves and our community.We believe in a world that can love, learn and liberate. Our faith calls us to action for peace, against violence, against greed (especially in its globalized corporate form). We are in solidarity with all who share this vision.

Since 1916 Harrow United Church has been a centre of community activity and a place of Christian worship, nurture and service. From its beginnings as the Sunshine Hall on Arbuthnot, offering a place for children and youth in the growing Crescentwood neighbourhood, to its present incarnation on the corner of Mulvey and Harrow, the congregation has always had an outward focus, looking for ways to make a difference in the community and the wider world. Nowadays, we have the opportunity to do that in a multitude of ways. You can participate in our virtual community or in our ''in-the-flesh'' community. Or both. Either way, we invite you to experience Christian community, to grow in compassion, and to discover how you can use your gifts to bless the world.
