Mission:Dignity Sunday, June 28

Join us in celebrating Mission:Dignity Sunday in your church!

Some would say, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled."

As you read this, more than 2,500 retired Southern Baptist pastors or widows are living close to poverty. They served smaller churches with little or no retirement contribution and now struggle to pay for food, utilities, prescriptions or medical care.

Whose responsibility are they?
James tells us that God's people are to care for them. And that means you and me; your church family and mine.

Mission:Dignity Sunday is June 28 on the SBC calendar. Help Mission:Dignity spread the word by encouraging your church, Sunday school class or mission organization to participate in this special day!

Order free bulletin inserts and a short video. The materials are undated and can be used on June 28 or another day of your choice.

If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? (James 2:15-17 NASB)

What will you say? What will you do?
You can help make life better for God's retired servants by supporting this ministry right now — donate online.
