In 2002, Bishop Aaron Blake, Sr. initiated the first “Stand Sunday” in the United States, calling the families at his home church in Brownwood, Texas to stand-up to care for children and families impacted by the child welfare system.
Today, churches across the nation join forces on Stand Sunday to declare war on inaction when it comes to children and families facing abuse, abandonment, and neglect.
​
Although traditionally observed on the second Sunday of November during National Adoption Month, churches host Stand Sunday on various days and in various ways. Check out these free resources to help your church observe Stand Sunday this year.
Together we can continue what started in Brownwood, Texas in 2002 as we obey the Biblical mandate to care for the most vulnerable in our communities.
