World Orphans/Vulnerable Children’s Sabbath will be November 15, 2025. Local churches are invited to advocate and take action to care for the 153 million orphans around the world. Thanks to a partnership with the General Conference Children’s Ministries Department (PPT, booklet and activity pages, layout, and the translation for the children’s OVC sermon by Angie Valdez and Francesco Marquina), https://children.adventist.org/, here are some resources to help your local church to promote, train your members on this special day. This year’s theme comes from the life of Joseph from Genesis 37-50. We invite you to use this hashtag #OVCSabbath25 or #OVCSabbath on social media to report how your local church celebrated World Orphans/Vulnerable Children’s Sabbath.
