Human Relations Day is a special Sunday across our denomination, focused on fostering better relationships and supporting community and youth outreach. On the Sunday before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, we celebrate and take up a special offering to help bring his vision of a “beloved community” to life. Your gifts support important programs like Community Developers, United Methodist Voluntary Services, and Youth Offender Rehabilitation. We invite you to give through your local church or online, helping us continue this vital work together.

We invite you to explore the complete set of ready-to-use resources designed to help your church celebrate Human Relations Day. These materials highlight how we give, why we give, and the impact of our connectional efforts. All resources are available in digital format, allowing you to choose the format that best suits your church's needs. Be sure to check out the planning calendar to help you plan!
