United Methodists celebrate six special Sundays each year. The purpose of this is to unite and make clear the commitment of the church as the people of God, and to give everyone the opportunity to contribute to special programs.
The first of these is this Sunday, Jan 23: Human Relations Day. Your donation, above and beyond your usual giving to the church, will support communities that lack the resources we take for granted. In 2020, over $420,000 was given towards Human Relations Day.
There will be a special envelope included in the worship bulletin this Sunday if you would like to participate. Or you may visit ResourceUMC.org/SSGive.
