Today is Orphan Sunday.
A day to defend the fatherless (Isaiah 1:17).
I wish all churches would take the time to acknowledge this day-to fight for this like they spend countless hours fighting for other causes....
We are a people called to defend the fatherless…to care for the child that has no family…to visit orphans in their distress.
Here are just a few ways you can get involved this Orphan Sunday. For more ideas and information check out the website: www.orphansunday.org
• Teach a class on "God's Heart for the Orphan."
• Encourage your pastor to preach on a Biblical theme related to orphans
• Partner with the Faces of the Forgotten Google Earth project to highlight visuals of orphan needs worldwide to your community or church family.
• Host a prayer gathering at your home or church
• Host a "Movie Night" on Friday, Saturday or Sunday at your house with a film including orphan-related themes. Plan questions beforehand to stimulate post-movie discussion.
• Partner with local artists for a concert or other performance that raises funds and/or awareness for orphan issues.
• Show a short video during your Sunday morning service.
• Host a campus gathering or lecture on orphan issues at your college.
