Join churches across the UK in marking Disability Awareness Sunday – a time to celebrate God’s image in every person! – and download the new resource pack from disability charity Through the Roof (www.throughtheroof.org). “My hearing had gone… my legs wouldn’t move: God’s image was still in me.” This year’s free resource, Made in God’s Image, features Emily Owen, an award-winning author who became deaf at 21 and now lives with multiple disabilities. In her video and resource, she shares how God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16), not outward ability. All matter as ALL are in God’s image No matter our challenges, we’re all ‘wonderfully made’ in God’s image – and when churches fully welcome disabled people, everyone is blessed. Sadly, 72% of disabled people in the UK report facing negative attitudes. Joining church can be a challenge. That’s why this matters. Use the official date, 28 September – or any Sunday – to spark conversations and take a step towards disability inclusion. FREE resource for churches! The free downloadable pack includes Emily’s video, songs, prayers, sermon ideas, and handouts reminding us ‘All are made in God’s image’. Download your copy now: 💻 Get the free pack at: […]
