Change the World Weekend

THIS WEEKEND, May 18-19

Change the World Weekend is an annual event in which United Methodists make a global impact by focusing on mission and engaging in acts that show God's love for the world. The denomination-wide event engages in mission locally and globally, to make change noticeable.
