Week of Compassion Interactive Map/Poster

To order your complimentary map/poster, please contact Elaine Cleveland or call 317.713.2442

Thank you for using the WOC Interactive Map/Poster in your congregation. We hope it will be an engaging and creative way for the congregation to keep up to date on our response together to human needs around the world, around the year.

We encourage you to post it in a visible spot in a well-trafficked area by displaying it on a bulletin board or attaching it to a movable foam display board. There is a place on the map/poster to attach the latest WOC Updates. Each Friday on this page we will post all the responses WOC has made during the week to disasters and emergencies and to long-term, sustainable development projects. You might then use red pins or stickers for disasters and blue or green ones for development projects to mark those places on your map/poster. By the end of the year you will see how your congregation has helped “cover” the world with compassion. You will think of other creative ways to use the poster, and we hope you’ll share those with us, so that we can share with other congregations.
