We’re inviting you to join with us and churches across the UK to mark out the 8th September for Ability Sunday – a special day for our communities.
Ability Sunday is about running a day of inclusion and participation in your community, with special consideration for the needs of disabled people.
We’re excited to share more on theme of Ability Sunday 2019.
The theme for 2019 - Psalm 139
The Bible speaks powerfully of God’s love for us. From the beautiful words of psalm 139 which highlight God’s intimate knowledge and care for every individual He created; to the examples of Jesus’ life and his commandment for us to “love one another”.
Whatever our circumstances or abilities, everyone is unique to God. We all have our own talents, strengths, skills and personalities. How will you share your gifts during Ability Sunday?
How to get involved
It’s by celebrating people’s unique gifts that churches and communities become richer by involving everyone.
It is our hope that every member of your church family (whatever their age or ability) can take part in Ability Sunday this year, finding opportunities to use their own gifts, to share them in helping others and to encourage others to discover and use their own unique gifts.
Next steps
Ability Sunday provides a moment to reflect on whether your church could be more welcoming to disabled people and their families and care workers – we hope you’ll join us.
We’ll be in touch again soon with resources and ways to help you plan and celebrate Ability Sunday. Until then, thank you for your support.
