Human Relations Day

Jan. 19, 2025

Human Relations Day is a Special Sunday of The United Methodist Church. Special Sundays are designated Sundays each year that deepen the connection between the local church and ministries on a global scale. On each unique Sunday, individuals and congregations are encouraged to give to support the church’s collective work with a special offering. 

Your gifts to the Human Relations Day offering benefit social-justice ministries and outreach through Community Developers, Volunteer Service, and Youth Offender Rehabilitation programs. Learn more about these ministries.

Give to the Human Relations Day special offering through your church.
