Each fall we take one Sunday to emphasize care to vulnerable children and families called “Stand Sunday”. Stand Sunday received it’s name in 2004 from a day one woman stood up in Texas at her church to accept the call to love and advocate for hurting children. This year, we will celebrate and highlight this vision on December 1st. Nate Bruns from Lifeline Children Services will share with us. After our Sunday Gathering, there will be a lunch for those interested in hearing more about Lifeline Children Services. If you would like to join for that lunch, please RSVP to Team 1:27 so they can think about how many to plan for.
