America’s Sunday Supper to be held January 15

12/2/2011

This denomination-wide event offers a means to make the world better…through a shared meal, meaningful conversation and community service. It’s a great way to get youth groups, small groups and the broader congregation to reflect on what it means to live the faith and take on risk for mission and service.

By signing up to host a supper, participating churches will receive marketing support to share an invitation with their communities, and a film to share at the event. Films come with discussion guides to stimulate conversation about education, food security, children of prison inmates and more.

United Methodist Communications has teamed up with HandsOn Network and Points of Light Institute to offer America’s Sunday Supper as a Rethink Church Event – providing a model to honor both Human Relations Day and Dr. Martin Luther King’s life. Through this partnership, local churches participate in a nationwide event, which last year recorded over 4,000 projects and over 240,000 volunteers.
