Orphan Sunday, 11/8: Exhibitors at Bethlehem Baptist


Religion that is pure and undefiled

before God, the Father, is this:

to visit orphans and widows

in their affliction . . .

(James 1:27)


This is the weekend of Orphan Sunday. The exhibitors at Bethlehem this weekend represent an array of ways to "visit" orphans.

I hope you'll look through these and pray for God's guidance how you might be involved at some level in one of these opportunities for true religion.
