Week of Prayer for Children and Young People (6 – 10 July)
During the first week of July, we are inviting churches and schools, families and individuals, to pray for children and young people, as part of our 2026 Year of Prayer.
A Prayer Guide produced by the Go Team offers 5 daily themes, Monday through to Friday (6 – 10 July), encouraging us to pray for children and young people in our churches, schools, wider communities and at home, with the final day focusing on those who lead, teach and support children and young people across our diocese. There are suggestions for prayer alongside a Bible passage and a written prayer to use each day. Prayers for children and young people could also be included in services on Sunday 5 July, as the week of prayer begins.
Would you commit to join in praying each day or by gathering others in your church, family or small group to pray for children and young people during the week?
Our week of prayer coincides with the Church of England’s Recognise Week which seeks to celebrate the important role played by everyone involved in ministry with children, young people, and their families. Sunday 12 July is a day for churches nationwide to celebrate and thank those involved in this vital ministry. More information and resources can be found online.
However you are joining in prayer, we’d love to hear from you. Do drop us an email at goteam@bathwells.anglican.org.
