Sabbath Weekend of Preaching 2009

CCAFV's Faith Community Task Force is hosting a Break the Silence Sabbath Weekend of Preaching, March 20-22, 2009. The Coalition is asking congregations throughout central Ohio to use this weekend to share a "no tolerance" message about family violence to their members using pulpit sermons.

In addition, bulletin and newsletter articles and web site resources are available (see below).

This is the Coalition's second Sabbath Weekend of Preaching. The first was held on January 19-21, 2001 as a follow up to the inaugural Break the Silence Interfaith Clergy Forum.
