I would like to invite you, and your church to consider joining with churches across Australia on November 2 for Solidarity Sunday.
What we are witnessing in Iraq and Syria is pure evil.
Extraordinary brutality demands an extraordinary response.
Solidarity Sunday is an important and unique opportunity for churches to unite in prayer and solidarity by devoting a small portion of the service to this. There are three aspects:
- Prayer and awareness
- Screening a short video (where possible) provided to you ahead of time
- Visual demonstration of solidarity through encouraging members to wear the T-Shirt with the Arabic letter N
It will also be an opportunity to for your church to raise awareness about persecution through your local media and social media.
Click here to register for your church to participate on the day and to receive our Awareness Action Pack.
The Awareness Action Pack is an important resource to help you and your church maximise the reach of Solidarity Sunday through your local newspaper and social media.
I look forward to joining with you in prayer on November 2.
In Christ
