Methodist Home for Children Sunday is the one day a year when congregations take up a special collection for the children served by MHC – children who come from empty homes, failing in school, looking for acceptance in all the wrong places.

On Girl Scout Sunday, many troops celebrate the connections between Girl Scouting and their faith, learn more about other faiths, and thank faith partners for their support throughout the year.

United Methodists are called to recognize and honor the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society and church. The United Methodist Church acknowledges a gap in understanding Native American life and culture while affirming the sacredness of Indigenous peoples, their languages, their unique identities, and their contributions to the church and the world.

The Mother’s Day Offering supports the Benevolent Care Annual Fund and provides financial and personal resources for residents who can no longer fully pay their way. In many cases, these residents have no other means of support and often no family. By supporting this fund, you can make a difference in the lives of these residents.

On Peace with Justice Sunday, we come together to support ministries that work for peace and fairness around the world. This Special Sunday equips United Methodists to advocate for change and support ministries that challenge systems of inequality and violence.

Disability Awareness Sunday is a celebration of the gifts and graces of people with disabilities and a call to deepen our commitment to full inclusion of persons with disabilities. The NC Conference invites congregations to choose any Sunday in July to celebrate Disability Awareness Sunday. Because July is also Disability Pride Month, it provides a particularly fitting opportunity to honor disability as part of God’s diverse creation.
