Peace With Justice Sunday

United Methodists are committed to social holiness. Our Social Creed asks us to take action against inequality, child labor, unprotected workers and other human rights violations. We practice Jesus’ Golden Rule (Luke 6:31) by advocating for peace and justice around the world, and our offer-ing on Peace with Justice Sunday fuels our efforts. Recently, Church and Society board members awarded grants to 15 Peace with Justice ministries in the United States, Belgium, Germany, Nigeria and the Philippines. Even the smallest grant allows recipients to dream big. And in those dreams, we protect the environment, prevent disease and educate children. We treat others as we want to be treated. The Board of Church and Society has named several challenges our denomination faces in responding relevantly to societal ills and global injus-tices. One of the challenges shares our mission most succinctly, "Speak forthrightly with a religious voice in a broken and hurting world."

Please add your voice. The change you encourage on Peace with Justice Sunday will surely change the world.

Your contribution encourages living a gospel of peace. The United Methodist Peace with Justice Sunday offering makes a difference through min-istries in the United States and around the world. Thank you for your generous gift!
