To make your life a little easier, we've assembled some of the key links pastors might need and placed them at crcna.org/pastors. Check it out, and let us know if you have any suggestions for that page.
Sanctity of Human Life Sunday Worship Materials
The third Sunday in January is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, and the CRC Office of Social Justice is pleased to offer resources for your church to honor the day. Visit crcna.org/life to find bulletin inserts, a prayer, and a responsive reading. Place your order by December 19 (if you have not already ordered via the Special Sundays form).
