Thanks to Sister Joseph for alerting us to this:

Jubilee Sunday annually provides an opportunity for communities of faith to hold a Sunday service focused on the principles of Jubilee. Join Jubilee Congregations around the United States in dedicating part or all of your time together to pray for global economic justice, deepen the communities understanding of the debt issue, take concrete action for debt cancellation for all impoverished countries, and receive a special offering to support the work of the Jubilee USA Network.

Another reminder will be posted closer to December 14, but it might be good to check out the resources now.

Jubilee Sunday April 13

"When people of faith join together for a holy purpose, rooted in our scriptures, we can turn the tides of economic injustice, challenge harmful policies and advance a prophetic vision of right relationships among nations, fairness, equality, and hope for the world's poor." - Jubilee USA Network

Jubilee Sunday, April 13, is a day set aside to raise the concerns of countries which have been impoverished by the huge payments they make annually on foreign debts. On this day, congregations will come together across the country to learn and pray, and then call on our national leaders to "Measure up!" to their commitment to end poverty. Resources for celebrating Jubilee Sunday (and many other excellent resources) are available at Jubilee USA Network.
