SUMMARY:Sanctity of Life Sunday 2026
DESCRIPTION:January 18\, 2026 is the annual Sanctity of Life Sunday in Southern Baptist churches. Download a free bulletin insert and prayer guide from the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) to help create a culture of life within families in your church. \nThe following excerpt is from the ERLC’s life guide\, “Created in the Image of God: A Practical Guide to Building a Culture of Life.” \nScenario: A college student who is a pre-med major has a class assignment to take a position on whether abortion is “an essential part of reproductive healthcare.” Her classmates\, none of whom agree with her pro-life convictions\, all believe that it is\, so she knows that she will be in the minority when she disagrees. She doesn’t believe that simply quoting Scripture will be enough to convince anyone of her position. What advice would you give her for her presentation? \nWhile she should not shy away from her religious convictions in this presentation\, the context of an academic pre-med setting should encourage her to lean into the plentiful scientific truths that support the pro-life position. \nFirst\, she should emphasize that abortion is not an essential part of reproductive healthcare because it does not seek to restore or heal\, but rather to harm. From the moment of fertilization\, a preborn child has completely unique genetic information which designates them as a separate human being with intrinsic worth\, dignity\, and a right to life. The milestones of fetal development demonstrate that preborn children are living\, growing persons. \nIt is good to remind her that\, while her faith may be the primary basis for her convictions regarding abortion\, God has also given us natural revelation that can be observed through science. This evidence is convincing in its own right and can be effectively used to defend a pro-life position\, especially in the context of an audience that does not submit to the teachings of Scripture. \nFor you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13 \nFinally\, she should address the use of the procedure in tragic circumstances to highlight how they are different. The use of the same procedures for treatment in marginal cases such as ectopic pregnancies is not a positive case for the vast majority of abortions. In those few cases\, Christians can recognize the need for action to save the mother’s life\, while not allowing abortion advocates to equate the two procedures as morally similar.

SUMMARY:Week of Prayer for International Missions and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
DESCRIPTION:Week of Prayer for International Missions\nSouthern Baptists observe a Week of Prayer for International Missions each year before the annual Lottie Moon offering emphasis. Will you join your heart with others to pray for missionaries around the world who are faithfully sharing the gospel? \nLottie Moon Christmas Offering®\nEvery year\, Southern Baptist churches collect an offering to send and support missionaries to be steadfastly present among those who have never heard the gospel. 100% of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® enables gospel transformation among the unreached. \nIn 1873\, Lottie Moon was appointed as a missionary to China. She spent nearly 40 years sharing the gospel with love\, courage\, and unwavering faith. \nHer letters home inspired churches to pray and give\, leading to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Today\, this offering supports missionaries and helps take the life-transforming message of Jesus to the nations. \nLet’s honor her legacy by praying and giving so others can hear the hope of the gospel. \nDownload resources for your church.  \nPhoto courtesy of IMB.

SUMMARY:Orphans and Widows Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Orphan and Widow Sunday reminds us to align our hearts with the call to practice true religion (James 1:27)\, caring for orphans and widows. Here are three ways a believer can be mindful of them throughout the year. \nBe Near to the Brokenhearted\nScripture tells us clearly that God is close to the brokenhearted (Ps. 34:18). So\, those of us who choose to imitate Christ know that being Christlike means that we should be close to the brokenhearted as well\, and this includes caring for orphans and widows in our communities. The local church has the profound opportunity to be near to the brokenhearted over a long period of time. Whereas it is hard for one individual to carry the weight of being near all the time\, there is strength and stability when a group of people dedicate themselves to those who are suffering\, whether to widows in our communities or children placed in foster care. \nMake Service a Way of Life\nWhen we look at Scripture\, it is undeniable that serving those in need is a critical part of the believer’s life. And so\, we don’t merely give lip service to orphans and widows this Sunday\, we find ways to serve them throughout the year and practice the biblical call to a lifestyle of service. \nCover Them in Prayer\nIn addition\, prayer should always undergird our care for the widow and orphan. Prayer is never an empty sentiment in the believer’s life. Instead\, it’s a powerful tool to advance God’s Kingdom in our world\, and so we pray big and audacious prayers over the orphaned and widowed. We pray boldly\, “Thy Kingdom come\,” with all its restoration and redemption\, “on this earth as it is in heaven.” \nA Prayer for Orphan and Widow Sunday\nGod\, we thank You that You are a Father to the fatherless and near to the brokenhearted. Open our eyes to see the needs of orphans and widows around us\, and teach us to love them not only with words\, but through faithful action and prayer. Strengthen your Church to draw near with compassion and to reflect the hope of Christ in our communities and around the world\, so that orphans and widows may experience your steadfast love through the care of Your people. In Jesus’ name\, Amen. \nDownload resources for your church.

SUMMARY:Orphans & Widows Sunday
DESCRIPTION:On Orphan and Widows Sunday\, Christians stand for children who’ve lost the protection and care of family. We are a people called to defend the fatherless…to protect the vulnerable…to visit orphans in their distress. \nEach event is locally-led. Sermons and small groups\, concerts and prayer gatherings\, shared meals and youth activities—each stirring believers with God call to care for the orphan\, and what ordinary people can do in response. \nEach November\, these thousands of local events resounding across America and around the globe\, all sharing a single goal: that God’s great love for the orphan and widow will find echo in our lives as well. Orphan and Widow Sunday is your opportunity to rouse church\, community and friends to remember and reflect God’s deeply love for every orphan and widow…and for each of us as well!
