Worship Resources

Cover the Uninsured Week. Worship resources were prepared by representatives from the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish communities for use by congregations during the 2004 Cover the Uninsured Week. Their preparation was under the auspices of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in cooperation with the National Interfaith Advisory Board.

The resources are too good to be lost. They can be used by congregations at any time of the year.

With the permission of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Interfaith, Christian and Jewish resources have been edited to remove dated references to Cover the Insured Week. Because of difficulties in preserving the Arabic language portions of the text, Muslim Cover the Uninsured Week materials are offered in their original form.
