"In 1972, the CAP National Board designated the first Sunday in December as CAP Sunday. Soon after that, the Saturday before was added to the celebration for those whose day of worship is Saturday. The week-end commemorates the fact that CAP was chartered by the U.S. Congress on December 1, 1941. CAP Sunday/Sabbath gives CAP Chaplains an opportunity to acquaint their churches with their ministry as CAP Chaplains. Sometimes units may choose to support their chaplains by all worshipping in the same place, and in uniform. Other units, encourage members to attend the church or synagogue of their church in uniform. This is an excellent opportunity to take the message of aerospace to non-CAP members. For chaplains, it is also an excellent opening for telling their religious bodies about the importance of moral leadership in CAP." (CAPP221 – Chapter 4, p. 19)
Please encourage each member of the Chaplain Service, chaplain and CDI alike, as well as all CAP members, to proudly wear their uniform to the worship service they attend on either 12/6 or 12/7 – be it the service dress, the corporate uniform or the blazer combo.
Does anybody use any type of script for CAP Sunday? Do you incorporate your squadron into the service? My chaplain is interested to know what other chaplains do.
Merged.
So who is wearing the uniform tomorrow to church? (or today if it applies) :angel:
You all should take some photos of yourselves in your Sunday Best and post them here! :clap:
Wore the uniform to church. Pre-warned the pastor so he was aware of the occasion (since it also Advent season). Had the opportunity following the services to share about CAP and my involvement. One lady in the church moved here from Alaska and had worked with CAP/ANG and so she was sharing with others about her experiences with CAP. It was great.
Wore mine to church with Rich Nelson, Chappie
Asked my leader and was politely asked not to. So I didn't. Wanted to though.

Thank them for the support. I got a prospective member out of it.

Just curious, why were you asked not to wear your uniform?

Difference of opinions I guess.
Did not want me detracting from the meeting as I would have been the recipient of additional attention.
Wore mine. Got a special prayer at the end as well. Although that might have been because I'm going to Ft. Bragg tomorrow, and that I'm the Pastor's son. . .
Great stuff! Best of luck with the new recruit!
