2008 FUM Sunday
FUM Sunday is an annual event, a day set aside to focus on the ministries and resources available to monthly meetings around the world, ministries and resources that are only made possible by your support. FUM Sunday, the first Sunday in November, is the kick-off for the annual Chain of Prayer which begins January 1 and runs through Pentecost Sunday. Meetings in North America, Africa, Cuba, Jamaica, Ramallah and Belize make a "chain of prayer" by signing up for a day to pray for the ministries of FUM as well as its member monthly meetings. Without your prayer and financial support, FUM could not carry out its mission to energize and equip Friends around the world.
