What is Sight Loss Sunday
This year Sight Loss Sunday falls on 13th October 2024. This is the fourth year we’re marking Sight loss Sunday and we have a wide range of resources you may use to celebrate it in your church. This year’s theme is ‘We walk by faith, not by sight,’ which is themed around physical sight having no connection with faith or spiritual sight. A set of new resources can be found in the third section on this page. Our resources from previous years are also available. ‘Seeing, believing’ from 2021 is themed around the many varied gifts blind and partially sighted people have that can be used to enrich their church, while ‘Made in god’s image’ from 2022 is themed around blind and partially sighted people being as unique and valuable as everyone else.
