Special Sundays are designated Sundays throughout the year that provide opportunities for giving. These special offerings are earmarked and support designated ministries.
On these Sundays, we empower our congregations to give toward causes and organizations that promote sustainable life change. These offerings help offer refuge in times of disaster, promote peace and justice, provide scholarships, reach out to the community, teach skills to encourage self-sufficiency, and share the love of Jesus Christ with God’s people everywhere.
For 2026, Soapstone UMC has chosen:
March 1 (Youth Sunday) – Scholarship Program at SUMC
Look for future info on other opportunities soon.
We will collect an offering on each of these dates using a special offering envelope during worship, or you can give online here. Read about each of these below.
The Soapstone United Methodist Church Scholarship Program supports graduating seniors who are active in the life and ministries of our church as they pursue higher education. Scholarships are awarded in recognition of faithful discipleship, service to others, and Christian character, reflecting our commitment to nurturing spiritual growth and lifelong learning.
