2012: Racial Reconciliation Sunday

February 12

Special Emphasis: Racial Reconciliation
Clonts

kidswithglobeThe emphasis on racial relations is scheduled on second Sunday in February. As Christians we should love people simply for being God's Creation. We should have a clear and consistent evangelical message that God loves all people, no matter their age, color of skin, income level, or family heritage. This love should be demonstrated in both words and actions.

When people put Christ at the center of their lives, the world cannot throw hurdles large enough to separate one color of God’s people from another.
