Special Sundays

Illustrating the nature and calling of the 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. This includes efforts to:

  • Alleviate human suffering
  • Engage in social justice
  • Strengthen Native American ministries
  • Provide scholarships for higher education

Both digital and print resources are available for use in your local church to encourage participation in Special Sunday offerings. Resources include bulletin inserts, pew cards, pastor/leader resources for all age groups, graphics, devotions and more. Available in English, Spanish, Korean and French.
