Back to School Sunday

Late August/early September Encourage your church to pray for, and ‘commission’ the children, teachers and schools workers who are returning to school for the new academic year. In Scotland this is held at the end of August – we suggest a Sunday in September for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Pray Day for Schools

Third Thursday in November. A Europe-wide prayer event promoting prayer in, and for, schools. Information and logos are available from www.prayday.eu and the resource pack will be available in early September.

Education Sunday

This is the day when churches throughout the UK join to offer to God the work of education, in schools of all kinds, in colleges and universities and in the church. It is the time to celebrate the achievements of education, to recognise the challenges, and support and pray for all who are involved in education.
