Human Relations Day
In The United Methodist Church, Human Relations Day Sunday is one of six Special Sundays with offerings supporting a particular ministry. On the Sunday before the national observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, our designated gifts benefit neighborhood ministries through Community Developers, community advocacy through United Methodist Voluntary Services, and work with at-risk teens through the Youth Offender Rehabilitation Program.
Human Relations Sunday is rooted in the belief that everyone has the right to reach their full potential. The United Methodist Church cares about acknowledging the overlooked and ignored and being a voice for the voiceless.
