Everything is still tentative !!!! We will update this as we get new information.

A few things to remember if you plan on welcoming the monks

The Walk for Peace is a moving meditation. Attendees are asked to maintain a quiet, calm, and respectful presence.

• When greeting the monks, place your hands together in prayer and bow.

• Please refrain from physical contact, including handshakes, hugs, or high-fives.

• Silence or gently averted eyes are considered respectful.

Physical Contact and Gender Respect:

Many monks take vows that prohibit physical contact with the opposite gender. Attendees are asked not to reach out or attempt physical contact.

Offerings and Donations:

The monks live under vows of non-attachment and poverty. They do not handle money or material gifts and have paused accepting offerings at this time.

Our Father Lutheran folks & friends are planning on gathering at Truist stadium 10:30-1:30 for ceremony & lunch —- Specifically - meet on Lindsay St. @ Gatewood @ 10:00 We will hold a yellow balloon so we can find each other.

Our Father Lutheran folks & friends are planning on gathering Monday at 6pm at Grandover Resort @ 6pm. Monks will prep for crowds and visitation from 6 and 9 pm. Visitation/speaking will take place at a designated area outside -- I am not precisely sure what this means.

Our Father Lutheran folks & friends are planning on gathering Tuesday @ 7am at Groometown & Gate City Boulevard (This is the most tentative but should have updates on Monday) NOTE: It is predicted to be VERY cold Tuesday morning. TIME COULD CHANGE
