Healthcare Sunday

Healthcare Sunday is held on the Sunday closest to 18 October, the day traditionally known as St Luke's Day. Each year we try to provide you with some resources to make it easier to mark Healthcare Sunday and give support and encouragement to Christians who work in healthcare.

Resources are provided here on the website - just follow the links on the left. [Unfortunately, we are no longer doing the resource pack as a CD-ROM.]

These are just some tools and ideas for you to take and make your own. Feel free to be creative with the material provided and use it in the way that best suits your own setting.

Some settings will be more formal and have greater time that can be given, so we have included some service outlines, including sermons, prayers, short dramas and appropriate poems.

You may also want to make use of the statistics for 'punctuation' in anything you share, or material from the ethics pages for information on current issues and prayer focus.

Christians working in healthcare overseas often feature in local churches, as home-grown or adopted missionaries. It is vital that we support them but let's not forget the wider healthcare workers based in the UK - this includes therapists of various kinds , as wll as the doctors and nurses.

Hopefully you will find suitable information here, along with some ideas of how to make use of it, whether in church services, small groups or as part of prayer slot. Have fun, be creative and let us know how you get on!
