General Conference created six unique Special Sundays to help congregations work with communities, rebuild shattered lives, strengthen self-sufficiency, encourage partnerships, nurture Native American ministries, model peace and justice, provide scholarships and loans for United Methodist students, and much more.
“God loves it when the giver delights in the giving.
God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways
so that you’re ready for anything and everything,
more than just ready to do what needs to be done.”
