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!

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:Pastor Prayer Meeting
DESCRIPTION:At the BRN\, we teach healthy churches to filter all of their activities through the filters of the Kingdom of God and Prayer. Kingdom keeps our focus on the glory of the King instead of our own fame. Prayer keeps us in a humble posture before our King so that He might direct our steps. To that end\, BRN pastors are invited to join a weekly prayer meeting via Zoom. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/9078251336?omn=89750957132\nMeeting ID: 907 825 1336\nPasscode: 0692 \n“Continue steadfastly in prayer\, being watchful in it with thanksgiving” (Colossians 4:2).
