An Orphan Sunday event or activity starts with one person who shares God’s passion for orphans. Start planning yours in three easy steps:

1.     Pick an event or activity from the ideas below, or design your own!

2.     Begin building your idea with prayer and planning, inviting friends to join in.

3.     Post your event or activity on the map here.

IDEAS:  Two Simple Concepts

A.   Show the Orphan Sunday video and then lead a prayer for orphans.

B.    Host “The Orphan’s Table” at church.  This activity is especially suited for Youth Groups and Sunday School classes.  The accompanying Prayer Guide can be downloaded and printed.
