Miracle Sunday
Hallelujah, church!

This Sunday, we reach the final week of our global journey of Love Boldly, Serve Joyfully, and Lead Courageously. For six weeks, we have joined more than 30,000 United Methodist congregations in worship, learning, and prayer. Together, we have listened to stories from leaders serving in places where hope is fragile, resources are scarce, and faith is strong.

This Sunday, we celebrate boldly, giving thanks for the movement of the Holy Spirit across Africa, Europe, the Philippines, and right here in our own congregation. God is raising up leaders whose ministries are transforming lives in extraordinary ways.

Come celebrate Miracle Sunday, a day when United Methodists around the world join in sacrificial giving to permanently endow theological education for pastors outside the United States. Through this offering, we help prepare 500 students each year for ministry, strengthening the church for generations to come.

Thank you for being part of this global movement of faith. May God continue to shape us into people who love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously.
