30 Days of Love

This year, THIRTY DAYS OF LOVE began on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and culminated with Valentine’s Day on February 14th. This month was a time for deepening our commitment to our mission through listening, discovery, community engagement, education, inspiration, celebration, lifting up, and daily, direct actions for love.  With hundreds of local events, congregations across the country were successful at deepening their involvement with Standing on the Side of Love. You can use the resources from 30 Days of Love year round.
