Churches Urged To Get A 'New Vision' For The New Year
CBM UK's 'Vision Sunday' Church Resource Pack for churches is available to download or in hardcopy, in a bid to encourage them to 'Make Poverty History' by highlighting disability and holding a 'Vision Sunday' service in 2010.
"Proverbs 29:18 says: 'Where there is no vision, the people perish'. The vision spoken here is spiritual vision; a sight which goes beyond our physical capacity to see. This is just the kind of vision which we so desperately need in the Church today," says Gill Godber, Editor of CBM's 'Vision Sunday' Pack.
Our 'Vision Sunday' church resource pack is designed to help churches highlight the issues of poverty and disability. As we enter the new year, we are encouraging churches or youth groups to hold a 'Vision Sunday' service or meeting in 2010.
