ReconcilingWorks is excited to announce Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday 2026!
RIC Sunday 2026 Worship Materials
“Celebrating Diversity
as God’s Children”
Why celebrate?
- We believe that the Gospel is built upon a foundation of diversity.
- We believe that the Creator gifted us a universe infused with beautiful diversity.
- We believe the Blessed Community is strongest and most faithful to Jesus when we invite everyone to the table.
Throughout his ministry among the peoples of Roman Palestine and in his teaching, Jesus was always reaching for those on the margins of society and religious institutions, pulling them back into the center of the life of the community. Because it is rooted in the teachings and ministry of Jesus, the work of full inclusion is something that God’s beloved children can celebrate. No hiding in the shadows for us! Let us dance in the light of God’s love, singing songs of liberation, justice, and inclusion.
About Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday
Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday is an annual worship celebration created to share in the commitment our organization and partnering faith communities have in the ongoing work of welcome, inclusion, celebration, and advocacy for LGBTQIA+ people in the life of the church. While historically this day is celebrated on the final Sunday in January, many RIC partners will celebrate on their date of affirmation, or on other days meaningful to their communities rooted in this commitment to radical hospitality. We hope you enjoy Resilient Community as we join collectively with over 1,10 partners across the United States and Canada through this celebratory service.
