The HIV National Week of Prayer will be held March 4-10, 2012 and David Chapel is excited to participate. We believe that the church should not be a place for condemnation of those affected, but of prayer, support, and understanding. Furthermore, we believe that everyone needs to be armed with accurate information.
Download the HIV-AID educational brochure that was given out in church.
Here is more information on our involvement in this great cause:
- David Chapel will be a host site for HIV/AIDS testing Sunday, March 4th from 10:30 am until 3:00 pm in rooms 4ABC and 7AB. Test results are confidential.
- Pastor Parker will give special emphasis to HIV/AIDS in his sermon on Sunday.
- Brochures with more information about this epidemic will be available at church.
- Pastor Parker will be participating in The Black Faith-based Initiative’s Pastor’s Testing Day at Simpson United Methodist Church on Tuesday, March 6 at 10 am. The purpose of pastors publicly taking this test is to show their support for testing and to encourage their congregations to be tested themselves.
- Thursday, March 8th the National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS Celebration Service will be held at Simpson United Methodist Church at 7:00 pm.
- The Women’s Ministry is pausing for prayer at noon on Friday, March 9th. No need to come to church, just pray wherever you are at the time.
