CBM - Solidarity Sunday 2011 from Canadian Baptist Ministries on Vimeo. 

Every Mother’s Day*, Canadian Baptists across the country come together for a very special reason: Solidarity Sunday. This symbolic event enables us to stand in unity with our brothers and sisters in need around the world. 

This Solidarity Sunday we are focusing on the desperate need to support emerging leaders in Africa. When faced with devastation and hopelessness, people look to Christian leaders for encouragement and support. These dedicated women and men are committed to bringing God’s love and hope to places where it’s needed most, whether in churches or community development projects. Through Solidarity Sunday, you can help better equip these remarkable men and women to transform lives in Kenya. 

Last year Canadian Baptists generously gave almost $40,000 to help vulnerable families in Rwanda. This year, our goal is to raise $100,000 through Solidarity Sunday and we need your help. Canadian Baptist Women of Ontario and Quebec have pledged $20,000 and are challenging Canadian Baptists to help CBM meet the goal.

This Mother’s Day, transform lives. Say “Yes” to your neighbours in Kenya.

*Please note:  In past years, some churches have indicated that they are unable to participate on Mother’s Day due to other commitments. This does not mean that you cannot take part in Solidarity Sunday! You may participate on any Sunday throughout the year. Simply order your supplies and use them at a later date. Solidarity comes from the willingness to stand in unity with our global neighbours. Dates are not important.
