The Faith Community committee provides resources and information regarding programs and assistance geared to reduce child abuse/neglect and to help parents become the best parents they can be through a faith based approach.

Here are some of our projects:

1. B lue Sunday -- April 25, 2009

Blue Sunday Child Abuse Prevention Initiative is a non-profit organization which serves local abused and neglected children and serves as a resource for relief programs on national and on international levels. We desire to show communities how to become fully dedicated to the needs of abused children through volunteer programs and services.

Sermon materials on a CD with a PowerPoint presentation are available upon request. These materials provide education on child and abuse neglect in our area as well as ways to address these issues.

This event is held every year on the last Sunday of April. It began with 20 churches taking time in their morning services to pray for the victims of child abuse and for those who rescue them. It has grown into an international effort with over 2 million participants. Many new relief/prevention projects have begun directly from this effort.
