From church doors wide open for round-the-clock prayer to a Sunday School session on the beach, the events marking World Wide Weekend 2000 focused on the healing role of Sunday School in young people's lives. The Mother Church and branch churches around the world planned their own responses to address the specific needs of young people in their community. Some began praying about this idea last winter, and others are just beginning to devote thought to it. The following are just a few examples of the unique ways Sunday Schools are finding to bless their communities.
