Some of UWA’s victories include an increase in wages from less than the minimum wage at the time to $13 an hour. Workers took the lead in organizing with fellow workers to secure a union contract. As one project member has shared “everyone is worthy of dignity and respect.”
Matthew 25:31–46 reminds us “Just as you did it to one of the least of these … you did it to me.” The Bible is particularly concerned about “the least of these.” God walks alongside the poor and disenfranchised in their human struggles and invites you to do likewise.

Offered yearly and used throughout the year, the SDOP Sunday Resource and Yearbook lifts up stories of community building, self-reliance, and hope — stories of God in action. It also provides hymns, sermons, liturgical suggestions, and ways to access other free and helpful SDOP resources that are available to you and your congregation.

Gracious God, we pray for communities where there is poverty and injustice, we pray for the oppressed and the disadvantaged that they may find help in their time of need. We ask that you help us in extending compassion and justice to those in need. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
