SDA CALENDAR OF SPECIAL DAYS, EVENTS AND OFFERINGS – 2024

The Seventh Day Adventist Church is an organized denomination that runs almost the same program worldwide. They may live and worship in far-flung places, but the 21 million Seventh-day Adventists worldwide are not only a faith community—they’re a family.

But finding a sense of togetherness can be difficult. One way Adventists can promote community across time zones is by celebrating special emphasis days and events together. The Adventist Church’s calendar of Special Emphasis Days and Events not only encourages unity, but it also helps raise awareness of key issues, such as abuse prevention, family, and religious freedom.

Adventist Church leadership invites you and your church to join your global family in celebrating these emphasis days and events.
