The ‘Platinum Jubilee Celebration of Faith & Service’ builds on the successful partnership facilitated by HOPE Together, which enabled local churches to bring their communities together for the Diamond Jubilee and the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations.
To help local churches mark this unique occasion, HOPE Together is working in partnership with the Church of England, the Methodist Church, Biblica, Word & Worship Trust, Thy Kingdom Come, Pais Movement, Youth For Christ, YouthScape, The Message, Prayer Spaces In Schools, Girls’ Brigade and Boys’ Brigade.
As the 4-day Bank Holiday ends at Pentecost, Thy Kingdom Come are also providing a Cheeky Pandas film, song and book for primary school children – with resource packs for home/church/school and community events.
