Peace with Justice Sunday

2022 Um Social Principles 165 1200x628

 

United Methodists relate to this special Sunday by seeking peaceful solutions, creating and supporting peace-related ministries in their conference and learning about peaceful, just efforts around the world. Our Social Principles call us to love our enemies, seek justice, and serve as reconcilers of conflict. We insist that the first moral duty of all nations is to work together to resolve by peaceful means every dispute that arises between or among them.

Donations for this special Sunday support programs and ministries to educate, equip and mobilize actions in support of identified Economic, Health, and Gender Justice Priorities. Half of the funds collected on this Special Sunday remain in the Annual Conference to strengthen social justice ministries within the local conference. The other half of the donations collected fund national and international peacemaking ministries and grants. 

HOW TO GIVE: Write a check to your local church and write, “Peace with Justice Sunday offering” in the memo line. Churches can give through the NIC Apportionment process.
