Armenia Solidarity Sunday
On April 26th, CMEP invites congregations across the U.S. to join in remembering the lives lost during the Armenian Genocide, when approximately 1.5 million Armenians were killed beginning in 1915. This solemn day of remembrance offers an opportunity for the Church to honor those who suffered persecution because of their identity and Christian faith. We encourage you to include a dedicated prayer or moment of silence in your Sunday service, standing in solidarity with their memory and reaffirming our shared commitment to faith, justice, and human dignity.
