Theme for Church of the Brethren Service Sunday is Micah 6:8.

The Church of the Brethren's Service Sunday is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2009. This special Sunday is recognized annually on the first Sunday in February. The theme for the 2009 Service Sunday is Micah 6:8, "Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly."

Service Sunday is a time for congregations to remember, celebrate, explore, and continue in opportunities of service. The sponsoring programs are Brethren Disaster Ministries, the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md., Brethren Volunteer Service, and the Workcamp Ministry.

A poster and an interactive bulletin insert will be included in the January Source Packet that is mailed to each Church of the Brethren congregation.
