They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. . . Micah 4:3b
As a means of living into this vision of God’s kingdom, Williamsburg United Methodist Church and the James River Chapter/VICPP (Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy) invite all to anonymously give their guns to be safely dismantled and forged into garden tools.
Safety will be a top priority: • Donors, please leave unloaded guns to be donated in the trunk of your car. • Donors, you must be present while the gun is being dismantled. • No ammunition will be accepted. At the event, a blacksmith will demonstrate turning gun parts into a garden tool. The community is even invited to come to the anvil and beat on the gun parts.
