Family Praise Praise Service, centred around safeguarding.

Safeguarding Sunday is an opportunity to meet your safeguarding team, acknowledge and thank your volunteers, and explain why safeguarding is important to everybody.

As church, God calls us to:
protect the weak (James 1:27)
speak up for those whose voices are not heard (Proverbs 31:8)
follow Jesus’ example of servant leadership (Luke 22:26)
and
pursue God’s heart for justice for all (Micah 6:8).

It’s our joy and privilege to join in with God’s mission to bring healing to the broken hearted, restore justice, and offer freedom and light where there is pain and darkness.

Safeguarding is everyone’s business because God is in the business of drawing close to the weak. As God stoops down to lift up those who need his help, so too must we draw alongside the vulnerable among us.
