Dear Friends in Christ:
Thank you for your interest in
observing National Hunger
Awareness Month. The month of
September has been set aside as
an opportunity to lift up our 37
million brothers and sisters
that go hungry every day in the
United States with the hope that
each one of us will pray and
work for an end to this
injustice.
You will find on this website a
number of different ready made
resources that can be downloaded
for free and used during your
worship service. In addition,
you will also find a “prayer
calendar.” This prayer calendar
was developed as an opportunity
for each person in your
congregation to pray, learn,
fast, and discover ways to be
engaged in activities that will
personally benefit our hungry
brothers and sisters.
To help you get started in
planning your Hunger Action
Sunday, you will find below a
number of scripture texts that
relate to hunger, poverty, and
justice.
Please call me if you have any
questions.
Thank you for “Doing Something”
about hunger. Together, we can
make a difference.
May God continue to richly bless
you.
