Bread for the World Sunday
will soon be here. Now is the time
to make plans for your church to
take part in Bread for the World
Sunday on October 18—or another
Sunday in the fall. This is an
opportunity for your congregation or
faith community to renew its
commitment to end hunger in God’s
world.
FREE resources and ideas to
help your church observe Bread for
the World Sunday are available
online at
www.bread.org/sunday. If
you haven’t already ordered or
downloaded your resources, please
order them today. They are
available in English and Spanish.
- Reflection Resource -
Included in every order is a
reflection on Mark 10:35-45,
written by Rev. John Buchanan,
editor and publisher of The
Christian Century. Also included
are a new song by Marty Haugen,
litany, call to worship, and
prayers.
- Worship Bulletin
Inserts
- Offering Envelopes -
for a special offering or
collection
Here is what others have
done to celebrate Bread for the
World Sunday:
“We prayed as a group for
world hunger to be addressed.
Our pastor had a sermon on hunger
and poverty and what Christians are
required to do to eradicate it. We
also took up a special offering for
the hungry in our community.”
“We used your resources for
the Sunday morning worship service,
prepared a minute for mission, and
gave out your envelopes for members
to take home and pray about a
contribution.”
Participating in Bread for
the World Sunday is one way your
congregation can make a difference.
I hope you will join us.
With hope,
David Beckmann
President
Bread for the World
