Today is Orphans and Widows Sunday! It is sometimes known as "Pure Religion" Sunday. Why is that? Because of James 1:27 -
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
Did you know...
While an estimated one million babies are aborted each year in the United States (1), there are only 20,000 to 25,000 infant adoptions annually in the U.S. (2). However, there are about 117,000 children awaiting adoption in the U.S. foster care system (3). The government was never meant to take care of our children. We, the church, are meant to do this, and we each have a part. Which part is yours?
