About Compassion Sunday
What is Compassion Sunday?
The purpose of this special, one-day event is to draw the attention of the Church to the needs of the world's poorest children. It's a powerful opportunity for God to use you to share with the members of your family His deep love for children – and show how each of us can intervene in the life of at least one child in poverty through sponsorship.
When is Compassion Sunday?
The official date is 18 September 2011, but you can choose any date that works best for your church.
How can I get involved?
You can join with hundreds of other churches across the UK and Ireland by doing the following:
- 5-10 min presentation - we'll provide you with everything you need including a powerful short film, suggested scripts, a PowerPoint presentation and more
- Set up a sponsorship sign up table in church - we'll send you information about children who urgently need sponsors that you can display on your table

- Respond to the Bible's call to help the needy
