HOMELESS SUNDAY - are you ready? View this email in your browser Homeless Sunday will be with us soon - before you get immersed in Advent, don't forget to begin planning for Homeless Sunday! Homeless Sunday is an annual opportunity to listen to what God has to say about homelessness.  With the three themes of Connect, Challenge, and Commit, we invite churches across Great Britain to reflect on, and address the problems of, homelessness. Rising rents and house prices, acute shortages of affordable homes, cuts in benefits and services are seeing thousands of people becoming homeless.  Free downloadable resources are ready now, and will help you organise your dedicated service and any additional activities you wish to engage in.  In addition, you can also: invite a speaker to your Homeless Sunday service on 24 January - simply email us! find out what your local authority is doing to combat homelessness - simply visit their website and look up the housing section encourage your congregation to commit to tackling homelessness - simply visit a local project, write to local politicians, raise funds Getting started is as easy as visiting the Homeless Sunday website and leaving a message, telling us what you will do!   PLEASE NOTE: NEWS FROM HOMELESS SUNDAY IS NOW BEING SENT FROM A NEW SUPPLIER - MAILCHIMP - IF YOU DID NOT WISH TO RECEIVE THIS EMAIL, PLEASE ACCEPT OUT APOLOGIES.
