Orphan Sunday + Stand Sunday
And now introducing Pure Religion Sunday in 2023
Churches uniting together to reflect God's heart for the orphaned and vulnerable on Nov. 12, 2023
This year’s Orphan Sunday + Stand Sunday – and now Pure Religion Sunday – will be celebrated on November 12, 2023. We know you are excited and anticipating all that God will do in your church and community this year and beyond. We are also excited about this new season and the growing movement in the global Church to reflect God’s heart for the orphaned and vulnerable, rooted in the vision of James 1:27: “Pure and undefiled religion is this: to visit orphans and widows in their adversity, and keep oneself from becoming polluted by the world.”
After months and years of listening, prayer and conversations with pastors, leaders and advocates in our community, we are looking to the future with much hope and holy expectation – honoring the legacy of where we’ve been and introducing a new opportunity for churches to align vision, focus and language under the broader umbrella of the Pure Religion Project.
