September 8: Education in our community

​

- Education Sunday is a national day of prayer and celebration for everyone involved in the world of education. For more than 100 years there has been an annual recognition of Education Sunday in England and Wales (traditionally on the ninth Sunday before Easter). However since 2016 it has moved to a fixed date in September.

​

​

Pray for Schools is one of the organisations that share resources for this day. Take a look at their website...

​

​

Churches Together in England also provide a large number of resources. Education Sunday is an opportunity to remember and give thanks for all those who teach, learn and support in schools, colleges, and universities.

​

​​

Roots: Resources for Churches - ROOTS is a partnership of denominations and other Christian organisations and has been publishing lectionary-based worship resources online and in print since 2002.

​

ROOTS resources help you to: 1) plan inspiring worship; 2) encourage discipleship throughout the week; and 3) nurture children and young people in their faith ... every single week of the year.

​

Roots have produced a PDF sheet for Education Sunday that contains ideas and activities to enhance an all-age service. This pdf is free-to-share so please download and take a look.
