New Year, new approach: EverydayFaith

 

#EverydayFaith is a Church of England discipleship campaign offering reflections and prayers to help you find and follow God in everyday life – starting Plough Sunday 2020 (12 Jan). We are probably all aware that being followers of Jesus isn’t confined to church activities. Most of us will pray or think about our faith at some point during our waking or working day. The reflections, stories and prayers are offered to help us discover more about what it means to live faithfully, hopefully and lovingly as Christians today.

#EverydayFaith is available in: booklet • app • social media • email • audio

An accompanying booklet for churches, Everyday Faith for churches: seven shifts to inspire Sunday to Saturday faith, is also available with simple ideas for small changes that make a big difference to being God’s church in the world, Monday to Saturday, as well as Sunday. There are a couple of options for a launch service for Plough Sunday. You can bring a plough to church – if that’s your job! Otherwise, we are asking people to bring school bags, sandwich makers, surgical masks… or whatever best represents the roles that God calls you to undertake.
