(October 14-November 4)

This year, the theme for CRWRC's World Hunger Campaign is “For Such a Time as This," which ties to the Esther story. Just like Esther was used by God to save the Jewish people from Haman, so God is using everyday men and women around the world to improve communities and break the cycle of poverty.

We hope that you and your congregation will enjoy the variety of educational materials that we've put together to help you celebrate World Hunger Sunday (November 4) and find out how you, too, can be an "Esther" in the fight against global hunger.
