Sight Loss Sunday – Sunday 13th October
PUBLISHED - 31st July 2024
This October we invite you to mark Sight Loss Sunday at your church. Sight Loss Sunday is an opportunity for churches across the UK to put on a sight loss accessible service and to become more aware of ways in which their Sunday services can be adapted to be more sight loss friendly.
This year Sight Loss Sunday will be taking place on the 13th October. This year’s theme is Walking by Faith. We hope that churches around the UK will join us in celebrating the gifts of people who are blind or partially sighted, and recognising that they have vital roles to play in communities and congregations. With your support, we can reach more churches than ever before with our resources, supporting churches to become more sight loss friendly.
Resources
This year we have released a third set of resources to help your church mark Sight Loss Sunday. We have added these new resources to our website and as with previous years, you may pick and choose the ones which feel relevant to you and your church. The resources include suggested songs, Bible readings, sermon notes and some additional resources. The previous years’ resources are still available to be used, so you also have the option to mix and match, and use elements from all of them. You are welcome to use as many as you would like and we hope you take many of these ideas into your future services.
You can see this year’s and the previous years’ resources here: torchtrust.org/sight-loss-friendly-church/sight-loss-sunday/
We hope you’ll find the resources inspirational and if you mark Sight Loss Sunday, we’d love to hear from you.
