40 Days 2023

You can be part of the 40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism at any time of year !

Some people had a focused time of engagement with the 40 Days in the fall of 2023. Some people plan to use the content in Advent, during the season after Epiphany, and still more during Lent. This series is for any time of year!

The most recent version of the 40 Days features brand-new stories, (with recordings available on YouTube) and suggested books offered by the UnitedChurch Bookstore.

Please sign up for the 40Days newsletter to continue to stay up to date!

The 40 Days offers opportunities to delve deeply into anti-racism work.

“Our congregation discussed the 40 Days program, and so many great, appreciative comments and learnings were shared. Implicit bias was an important learning that many commented on. We appreciate all the contributions and are delighted each day with new insights, prayers, and activities. Thank you!”
—A 40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism participant
