On June 14 we will be collecting a special offering for Peace with Justice Sunday. The world is full of conflict, division, and injustice. Peace with Justice Sunday reminds us that the church has a role to play in making things right. United Methodists believe that working for peace means addressing the deeper causes of conflict – like poverty, racism, and oppression. It’s not just about ending war, but about building a world where everyone is treated with dignity.
Half of the funds collected go to the local Annual Conference and support ministries that promote peace, fairness, and education where you live. Many areas also have a Peace with Justice Coordinator who helps lead local advocacy and learning opportunities. The other half supports United Methodist efforts across the U.S. and beyond. Grants are available to churches and organizations working on initiatives that promote peace, challenge injustice, and empower underrepresented communities – especially Ethnic and Minority Local Churches.
