ONE Sabbath Christian Toolkits Are Here!

OStoolkitsA month ago, we launched ONE Sabbath, ONE’s outreach initiative to people and communities of faith and the response we got back from our members was awesome.

Now we’re making tools available so you can organize a ONE Sabbath event at your house of worship for the weekend of November 23 – 25, when people of faith across America will be coming together to highlight the need for action to make poverty history.

Visit ONE.org/faith/materials.html to download toolkits that will help you organize a ONE Sabbath worship service, youth group activity or small discussion group.

Currently, we only have Christian toolkits available, but Jewish and Muslim ones will be online soon and we’ll post about them here, too.

This year’s ONE Sabbath is just the beginning. By downloading a toolkit and taking action, you’ll become part of the very first ONE Sabbath. We’re counting on you to tell us what works and what doesn’t as we get ready to take ONE Sabbath to every church, synagogue, mosque and temple in the country next year.

And even if you can’t put together a ONE Sabbath event in time for the weekend of November 23 – 25, our responsibility to care for the impoverished is timeless. You can still download a toolkit, get your community of faith involved in ONE’s anti-poverty work and begin organizing a ONE Sabbath event for another time.

    Excellent timing on this post, Aaron – I was just looking for ONE Sabbath materials to download and make copies of!

    I will be staffing a ONE outreach booth at our local (Austin TX) Interfaith Thanksgiving Ceremony which brings together people of Faith and Goodwill from all over our community.

    Every year, this Prayer Service is attended by thousands and this year I will have ONE, especially ONE Sabbath, materials to pass out to everyONE.

    I hope to convince some of the people there to get their churches to become ONE congregations!

    Take very good care of each other. Blessings – not just for those who kneel.

    ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :)
