Blanket Sunday
Blanket Sunday is Mother’s Day
Think about how comforting and warm a blanket feels when it is wrapped around you. Now, think how comforting and necessary it becomes if you were experiencing the aftermath of a hurricane or disaster.
Or what if you did not even own a blanket and your very survival was in doubt. How lucky most of us are never to experience that kind of pain.
The Church World Service has requested that churches designate Mothers Day Sunday as Blanket Sunday. On that special Sunday there will be an envelope in your bulletin to place a donation for the purchase of such a blanket. What a wonderful way to honor that special “mother” in your life.
For every five dollars collected the Church World Service will purchase and distribute a blanket to our brothers and sisters in their time of need throughout the world.
