RECOGNISE Sunday is nearly here! On 12 July 2026, churches nationwide will be taking the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the volunteers and staff who minister to their children and young people.
The idea is simple, ask someone to bake a cake (or buy one) and set aside some time in your regular service to thank, and pray for, all those who minister with children and young people in your church
If you have already signed up to receive a physical resource pack, it should be with you soon. If you missed the deadline, you can still register for a digital pack which will include a prayer card, videos and some creative ideas for the day.
It would be great to share in your celebrations, so if you post any photos or video to social media, please tag the Diocese of Coventry and use the hashtag #RECOGNISE2026
RECOGNISE is a simple and fun way to celebrate all the amazing, sacrificial work done by children and youth ministers and teams – it can also be used as an opportunity to showcase what that ministry looks like in your context, and even to encourage new people to join in the fun!
