UN Sunday
United Nations Sunday was a wonderful way to connect UU values with the work of the United Nations. Each year the UUA Office at the United Nations (UU@UN) created a collection on UN Sunday Resources, based on a theme explored at the UU@UN's Intergenerational Spring Seminar. While these resources are not updated, the themes and ideas continue to be relevant, and we are happy to provide this archive for worship leaders.
Some dates you might consider for a UN-themed Sunday: United Nations Day on October 24, the date the UN Charter was signed in 1945; International Day for Tolerance on November 16; Human Rights Day on December 10; World Day of Social Justice on February 20; International Women’s Day on March 8; Earth Day on April 22.
