Ability Sunday 2019

First published 10th July 2019

Livability is inviting churches to mark out 8 September for Ability Sunday a special day for our communities.

Ability Sunday is about running a day of inclusion and participation in your community, with special consideration for the needs of disabled people. It provides a moment to reflect on whether your church could be more welcoming to disabled people and their families and care workers.

The theme for 2019 is based around Psalm 139.

The Bible speaks powerfully of God's love for us. From the beautiful words of Psalm 139, which highlight God's intimate knowledge and care for every individual He created, to the examples of Jesus life and his commandment for us to love one another.

Whatever our circumstances or abilities, everyone is unique to God. We all have our own talents, strengths, skills and personalities. How will you share your gifts during Ability Sunday?
