Dear Friend,

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
