This weekend, from July 15 to 17, congregations across America will be learning about the situation in Darfur, praying for the victims of violence, and taking action on their behalf.  We hope that your religious community will also participate.

The Save Darfur Coalition is calling on faith communities across America to join together in a weekend of prayer and reflection for the people of Darfur.  Please visit the Save Darfur website for Faith Action Packets and more information:

http://www.savedarfur.org/faith

The Faith Action Packet provides tools needed to learn about the situation, suggestions for how you can include the issue in prayers and teachings, and take further action within your faith community. The packet includes background on the crisis, sample prayers, sermons, suggestions for action and a bulletin/newsletter insert on Darfur.

Please contact your religious leader to encourage participation in this important spiritual program and know that you are helping to make a difference in the lives of those suffering in Darfur.  For more details, visit the website at http://www.savedarfur.org/faith

We hope you will take the lead in encouraging your faith community to join thousands of others across the nation in praying for the people of Darfur and respond in accordance with your teachings.

*Also, attend the National Student Conference for Darfur in August, and learn more about how to organize your faith community and reach out to religious organizations!  For more information, please go to http://www.standnow.org/conference or email standconference@....
