Education Sunday - Sunday 8 February - Environment Theme

As you may be aware, Education Sunday is fast approaching.  This year’s theme is the Environment.  This event is warmly supported by the Bishop of London, who is Chairman of the National ‘Shrinking the Footprint’ campaign.

Some excellent resources have been produced for use in churches and schools and are available here.  They include:

• Education Sunday introductory leaflet

• Hymns and songs

• Prayers and Prayer station ideas

• Sermon notes

• Assembly PowerPoint, Primary assembly outline

• Further reading

All this is presented in clear and engaging language and visuals, suitable for use by any age group.  The Rev Dave Bookless of the Christian environmental charity A Rocha has been particularly involved in putting it together.It is essential that the message on how we can all play our part in caring for God’s world gets into every home and family, into the DNA of children, young people and adults alike! General background on Education Sunday can also be found here and here.

We commend this important event to every church and community!
