Compassion Sunday Is for All Ages

In Hamilton, Massachusetts, a group of fifth graders hosted a Compassion Sunday event. Their class has supported Christian, a boy in Uganda, since 2017, and they wanted to encourage their church family to support even more children in poverty. 

Leaders in the church encouraged the children to participate in ministry and see that their involvement makes a powerful impact.
