Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday 2017 - My Cry Is Heard (French, Spanish, and German included)
PART OF SERIES Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday Series
2017, 16 pp
The theme was chosen
because of the current
situation with many
refugees and immigrants
coming to Europe. Many
people in Europe look for
ways to respond to the
challenges while others
are afraid. Many feel
helpless and are looking
for answers. How will the
church respond to the
different needs we hear
and see around us?
When we feel lost, helpless and alone, who can we trust? The reading from Psalms speaks of God as the one who is faithful, who gives us refuge and reason to be thankful, and who hears our cry. In the stories in Genesis and Acts, we learn about communities receiving the Spirit of God in ways that were far beyond their imagination. God heard their cries, and responded in ways they did not expect. Do we experience that our cry is heard? Do we hear when others cry out?
The materials contain biblical texts, prayers, song suggestions, sermon ideas, stories and other resources. We hope that these materials, now in a new format, enable the preparations for WFS in each local congregation.
