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 2025, Soapstone UMC has chosen:
June 8 – Refugee Family
September 14 – UMCOR
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.
UMCOR – Sunday, September 14 we will collect an offering supporting UMCOR’s work of alleviating human suffering around the world including disaster relief and supplies, disaster risk reduction, health, and humanitarian development. Gifts to the UMCOR cover UMCOR’s costs of doing business. This helps UMCOR keep the promise that 100 percent of any gift to a specific UMCOR project will go toward that project, not administrative costs. The UMCOR Sunday offering is the primary funding stream for the administrative costs of UMCOR. Learn more here.
