Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)
So Christ himself gave the
apostles, the prophets, the evan-
gelists, the pastors and teachers,
to equip his people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ

may be built up until we all reach
unity in the faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God and

become mature, attaining to the
whole measure of the fullness of
Christ.

Service Sunday, recognized annually the
first Sunday of February, is sponsored by the
service ministries of the Church of the
Brethren which include Brethren Volunteer
Service, FaithX, and Brethren Disaster Min-
istries/Children’s Disaster Services. Congre-
gations and church leaders are encouraged to
designate one Sunday each year as Service
Sunday to lift up those who serve, or have
served, in their local communities and
throughout the world.
