The 2022 UN Sunday theme is "Displacement & Human Rights: All In for Climate Justice"—resources to plan a service are available on our main UN Sunday webpage. The recommended date for a UN Sunday service is the Sunday closest to United Nations Day (Oct 24), which in 2022 is Sunday, October 23. Many congregations choose to have their service on a different day, which is also perfectly fine!
