SUMMARY:Children's Missions Day
DESCRIPTION:Soar to new heights\, overcome old obstacles\, and be encouraged to live out God’s call! Join us this year as we learn what it means to be “Unstoppable” for Children’s Missions Day 2021. \nWHY PARTICIPATE IN CHILDREN’S MISSIONS DAY?\nWhy should churches participate in Children’s Missions Day? It’s motivational. It’s easy. And it works! \nChildren’s Missions Day is motivational! \nChildren’s Missions Day is a great way to get the children in your church motivated and engaged in mission action in their own community. What better way to get them motivated than to help them to see that they are joining thousands of other children across North America to minister to people with the love of Jesus? \nImagine the impact the church of Jesus Christ could have in North America if children everywhere lead their entire church family to minister in their communities!  \n  \nDownloadable resources can be found here.

SUMMARY:Mission Dignity Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Since 1918\, GuideStone Financial Resources has been on a “Mission” to provide “Dignity” to retired Southern Baptist ministers\, workers and their widows. These are men and women who have faithfully served God’s people and now find themselves struggling to meet even basic needs. Many served small\, rural churches that paid only modest salaries and couldn’t afford to contribute to their pastors’ retirement. Often\, these loyal soldiers of the cross had to work extra jobs just to make ends meet. \nMission:Dignity currently helps almost 1\,800 people with extra money needed for housing\, food and vital medications. It has also ensured a well-deserved dignity\, independence and\, often\, the ability to continue serving. \nTo promote Mission:Dignity Sunday in your church\, download videos\, ads\, sermon guides and more here. \nView video interview with Mission:Dignity’s Kyle Scott\, operations manager at GuideStone Financial Services: \n

SUMMARY:National Day of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:The National Day of Prayer exists to mobilize unified public prayer for America. \nTURN TO GOD IN PRAYER\nThe National Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Thursday in May. This day of observance\, designated by the United States Congress\, asks people “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” The modern law formalizing the annual National Day of Prayer observance was enacted in 1952\, and each year since\, the President of the United States has signed a proclamation encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. \nPRAY THROUGHOUT THE DAY\nThis year’s National Day of Prayer will be observed on May 7\, and the theme verse is Habakkuk 2:14: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” However\, due to events around the world\, we will not gather in churches or town squares to pray. Instead\, we are encouraging individuals to pray throughout the day and to invite others to join with them online so that we may fill the earth with prayers of hope. \n#NATIONALDAYOFPRAYER\nWe ask that you post your written prayer by text or video on your own social media site with the hashtag #NationalDayofPrayer and join the prayer movement this year as we petition God to move in mighty ways across our communities\, our country\, and our world. \nAs a church\, you can make short prayer videos from key community leaders\, pastors\, and national leaders to support each area of emphasis and post these prayer videos at different times throughout the day. \nDownload social media graphics. \nSchedule for Thursday\, May 7:\n9:00 am – Pray for your community and neighbors.\n10:00 am – Pray for churches and their impact to share the Gospel.\n11:00 am – Pray for those that are vulnerable and those that have lost loved ones due to COVID-19.\nNoon – Pray for businesses and those that have lost their jobs.\n1:00 pm – Pray for teachers\, schools\, students\, and parents.\n2:00 pm – Pray for those serving in the military.\n3:00 pm – Pray for healthcare workers\, first responders\, and those in the service industry.\n4:00 pm – Pray for city leaders and state officials.\n5:00 pm – Pray for the President and national leaders.\n6:00 pm – Pray for a movement of God across our country and around the world.\n7:00 pm – Join with others across the country on your front porch and sing “Amazing Grace.” \nFinally\, we invite everyone to conclude the day with the National Day of Prayer Broadcast: Pray God’s Glory across the Earth\, which will be presented from 8:00pm to 10:00pm EST on GodTV\, Daystar\, Facebook Live\, and additional outlets. \nSOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION Prayer Opportunities:\n  \n \nSBC President J.D. Greear offers tips for fasting as well as prayer points in the article\, A call to a day of fasting and prayer. \nThe Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention also has developed a prayer guide\, urging participants to pray for the Seven Centers of Influence on the National Day of Prayer.

SUMMARY:Children's Mission Day
DESCRIPTION:Join thousands of kids across the country in hands-on ministry in your community for Children’s Missions Day! WMU invites all children in grades 1–6 to participate on Saturday\, February 15\, 2020. (Note: Children’s Missions Day can be held any day of the year!) \nFrom feeding hungry people to visiting shut-ins\, boys and girls follow God’s command to “put your love into action” (1 John 3:18). Church groups create projects that meet needs in their own communities. WMU created Children’s Missions Day to move children out of their churches and into their communities to do missions. The first Children’s Missions Day was in 2008. Since then\, thousands of people have taken part in this special day. \n*You may have noticed we’ve recently changed the name of this event from Children’s Ministry Day to Children’s Missions Day. Don’t worry — this is not a typo! We’ve put plenty of thought and prayer into this change. Follow this link to read a little more about the difference between ministry and missions. \nIf you have comments or questions about Children’s Missions Day\, please email WMU President Theresa Krieg at Theresabkrieg@gmail.com or children@wmu.org. We look forward to helping your kids do hands-on ministry! \nDownloadable Resources:\nChildren’s Missions Day 2020 flyer \nChildren’s Missions Day 2020 press release \nChildren’s Missions Day 2020 clip art \nChildren’s Missions Day Customizable Certificate \nOrder More Resources (Badge\, Promotional Kit)
