Solidarity Sunday

Sunday, October 6, 2024

On Sunday, October 6th Churches for Middle East Peace and its 35 member denominations and communions call upon congregations in the U.S. and worldwide to pray for peace in Gaza and the broader Middle East as part of Solidarity Sunday. Resources to shape Sunday include prayers, worship, liturgy, and other aspects of Solidarity Sunday services, including videos from Palestinian Christian voices in the region and are varied, allowing each community to shape their Solidarity Sunday around their own traditions and commitments. This day of prayerful solidarity and calls for justice comes just as we prepare to mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific October 7th attacks and subsequent bombardment of Gaza.

Communities will be able to choose from these four sub themes in order to best fit their community:
1. Solidarity Sunday: For Mutual Flourishing

in partnership with the Global Sunday for Mutual Flourishing initiative

2. Solidarity Sunday: A Year of Lament

You can use any of these materials to build meaningful worship in solidarity for your community. If you so choose, CMEP's Programs and Outreach Manager, Destiny Magnett, has also compiled liturgies for each of our four Solidarity Sunday themes. We recognize that each of our denominations, and each individual church, will have different orders of services and needs, but we hope that these might be helpful starting drafts as you craft your services. These outlines can be found linked below:

1- Solidarity Sunday: For Mutual Flourishing

We will continue to add additional resources to these folders in the coming days.
