Refugee Sunday
On Sunday 1st July we remembered Refugees in our worship and prayers. CWS have some resources that can continue to be used in the weeks ahead.
This pack of worship resources includes an introduction with background on the theme, intercessory prayers and themed reflections on lectionary readings, plus links to more information and videos online.
