Resources for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday 2025

Life is a gift from God’s hand, who created all things.

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is quickly approaching! Observed annually on the third Sunday of January, this day is dedicated to honoring the sanctity of life in all its stages. As CRC churches gather on January 19th to commemorate this special occasion, we encourage you to explore the following ideas, tips, and resources to help you plan meaningful activities. Grounded in Our World Belongs to God, we invite you to reflect on a holistic Christian ethic of life—embracing the dignity of the unborn, supporting people with disabilities, and addressing end-of-life concerns with compassion and care.

• Order Bulletin Inserts: Many churches have already ordered bulletin inserts, but if you still need them, we’ve attached them below for your convenience. There's still time to order additional inserts for your church—simply visit the Faith Alive website, but be sure to act quickly!
• Use Special Prayer in Worship Service: As you observe this meaningful day, we warmly invite you and your congregation to incorporate this Special Sanctity of Human Life Sunday Prayer into your corporate worship service, uniting in honoring and upholding the sacredness of life in all its stages.

• Get Involved in Your Community: One meaningful way to understand the realities of abortion in our communities is by actively supporting women who are pregnant and seeking alternatives to abortion. To help you get involved, we’ve created a map of local pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. and Canada. These centers provide vital services such as pregnancy tests, counseling, and support for mothers who choose to carry their babies to term. They are always in need of volunteers and financial contributions to continue their life-affirming work. 

  If you know of a pregnancy support center in your area that’s not yet listed on our map, we’d love to hear from you! Please email us at [email protected] with the details, and we’ll gladly include it.

• Explore our Popular ‘Pro-Mama’ Online Blog Series: Life is a precious gift from God, and nurturing new life—both in the womb and beyond—calls us to care deeply for mothers (and families!) The first 1,000 days, from conception to age two, are a critical foundation for a child’s flourishing. When mothers and families receive the care and support they need during this time, their little ones can thrive.

  Yet, systemic evils often stand against God’s promise of “life to the full.” Our ‘Pro-Mama’ blog series, though a bit dated, remains one of our most popular series, offering timeless insights and contextually relevant guidance for today. This series dives deep into these challenges, providing recommendations, practical tools, and actionable pathways to address injustices. Together, we can embrace God’s call to become true advocates for life through prayer, compassion, and active love. Read this blog series!
