Compassion Sunday

Fanning the Flame for Compassion

We know about your passion for helping needy people in DC, but have you ever wondered how you can share that passion with your friends? That's why we've created Compassion Sunday and the Urban Outreach Event.

To sponsor a Compassion Sunday, you choose a good date for your congregation, and a Mission senior staffer will provide the program you select. Depending on your interests, we can present anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Current students and graduates can give their testimonies; some have even been known to share in song. We can also bring literature about homelessness, show pictures and a video of what we do and share ways for individuals and small groups to get involved.

An Urban Outreach Event is perfect for your church group, office colleagues, youth club or other community group. After receiving a facility tour, your group can meet current students and residents and participate in a volunteer project at one of the Mission's facilities.

If either sounds like the inspiration your group needs, please contact Deborah Chambers at 202-MISSION or dchambers@missiondc.org for more information.
