Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders hope this year's Women's Ministries Emphasis Day will motivate local churches to involve more women in worship services.
The June 14 Sabbath celebration of women is also a chance for churches worldwide to honor the accomplishments of women in their churches and communities.
"It's an opportunity for women to lead out in worship, to show their service and a chance to educate the congregation about Women's Ministries in our churches," said Raquel Arrais, associate Women's Ministries director for the Adventist world church.
This year's resource packet includes a suggested worship service outline, sermon and a PowerPoint presentation on past and present women church leaders.
The Adventist Church has marked this awareness day every year on the second Sabbath of June since 1990. The Women's Ministries department also sponsors an annual International Day of Prayer in the spring and an Abuse Prevention Sabbath each August.
