Tomorrow is Orphan Sunday. From here:
On November 8, 2009, Christians will do something we’ve never done before. We’ll stand with a united voice across America and beyond for the orphan. Our prayer is that this Orphan Sunday will be remembered as the day that launched a revolution. Building on the many ways God is already stirring, local events across the country will help catalyze heart change…and action.
Already, we see hints of revolution in these numbers: over 50 excellent Christian organizations have united behind the movement; more than 75 volunteer coordinators are promoting efforts across the U.S. We anticipate hundreds of events that will touch thousands of lives. Clearly, God is calling many to a revolution in response to the Biblical mandate to care for His precious children.HHow will you be part of this historic day? An Orphan Sunday activity can be a Sunday morning sermon or prayer…the launch of an orphan initiative…a small group gathered to pray…a Sunday school class or youth group event. Orphan Sunday will also feature the “Live from Nashville!” event, webcast live to your home and church. Planning your own Orphan Sunday activity is easy with the event ideas and resources available free of charge on the website. And don’t forget to inspire others by posting your event on our interactive national map.
Make your plans now for November 8, 2009, a date we’ll remember as the day we made history on behalf of the orphan.
The Christian Alliance for Orphans unites orphan-serving organizations and churches to ignite passion and build excellence for Christ-honoring orphan care, foster youth and adoption ministry. (HT)
