Human Relations Sunday
January 14th
"Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute." Proverbs 31:8, NRSV
As United Methodists, our Social Discipline invites and encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and take care of the world we live in, just as Jesus cared for it. We join our fellow United Methodists this Sunday to support the church's mission work of tending to the needs of the total person with our financial contributions.
As you consider your support this year, take a look at this brief video featuring some of the impactful work
connecting with the human spirit of those in need.
