Special Sundays Unite United Methodists

How do Special Sundays unite United Methodists to support important causes?

Special Sundays are days of celebration when individuals and congregations across The United Methodist Church come together to support meaningful causes that reach beyond their local communities. On churchwide and annual conference Sundays, a special offering is collected to help fund efforts like disaster response, support for Native American ministries, scholarships for students, and initiatives that promote justice and equality.

It’s a simple way for people to join a larger movement and make a real difference—together—across the country and around the world.
