Social Justice Sunday resources
Ohio Conference’s racial reconciliation resource team, Grace & Groundings, invites your congregation to participate in this year’s Social Justice Sunday on June 23. Resources have been compiled by the team around the themes of Let justice roll down and Celebrate the promise of freedom.
Grace & Groundings encourages your congregation to use these Social Justice Sunday 2024 to shape a worship service focused on social righteousness either on June 23 or on a Sunday of your choosing.
The theme for the 2023 Social Justice Sunday was Race as it relates to freedom. The Grace & Groundings team prepared worship planning resources to help guide congregations’ planning.
