HIV/AIDS Awareness

HIV/AIDS raises the question: How can the church be silent when there are 40 million people suffering with this disease? There are people hurting all over the world. Communities of faith have an opportunity to step up. During December, please take time to pause and consider how this disease has devastated families around the world and see how you can become a congregation that cares. For resources on HIV/AIDS, we invite you to prayerfully consider the following:
