Native American Sunday
OCTOBER 21, 2007
 The General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church has designated the fourth Sunday of October as the church’s annual Native American Sunday observance.
It is a time for the church to give thanks for native contributions to national culture, reflect on some of the issues that affect native people, and lift up prayers for justice.
