Renamed enditnow Emphasis Day in 2014, the fourth Sabbath of August was originally designated Abuse Prevention Emphasis Day when Annual Council voted, September 26, 2001, to add this day to the worldwide church calendar.
General Conference Women's Ministries (GC WM) coordinates the production and distribution of the enditnow Emphasis Day resource packets which include an order of divine service, sermon, seminar, PowerPoint presentations for both the sermon and seminar, and various other helpful materials.
The packet sermons and seminars are provided by the seven General Conference (GC) departments who co-sponsor enditnow. Each of the sponsoring departments are committed to developing and sharing resources that address many expressions of abuse against women, children, and men. Joining Women's Ministries are:
Children's Ministries
Family Ministries
Ministerial Association
Education
Health Ministries
Youth Ministries
It is high time to end violence and abuse NOW!
