One Church, One Child (OCOC): November: National Adoption Month
By: Arie Sailor
November is National Adoption Month. Since 1990, the second Sunday of November has been recognized statewide as One Church, One Child Adoption Sunday. The purpose of this celebration is to bring attention to Florida’s children in foster care who need to be adopted with permanent.
One Church, One Child of Florida (OCOC) is encouraging spiritual leaders across the state to participate in the Adoption Sunday celebration by:
• Reading the Adoption Sunday Proclamation on November 14, 2010.
• Delivering sermons that focus on God’s love for children especially orphans.
• Including a special announcement in the church bulletin or reading it each Sunday.
• Displaying a One Church One Child stand with literature, posters and flyers about OCOC in your lobby, library and/or in the vestibule area.
Enclosed you will find information about One Church One Child, a church announcement and the OCOC Adoption Sunday Proclamation. Thank you in advance for your prayers and consideration of these children. They are waiting, and your support will be of great importance in helping us find homes for these precious ones.
