RECOGNISE (6-12 July 2026) is a national week of recognition for everyone involved in ministry with children, young people, and their families (CYPF).
And Sunday 12 July is a day for churches nationwide to celebrate and thank those involved in this vital ministry.
The Church of England 30k Project, and here in the Diocese of Leicester, we want to RECOGNISE all the hard work of those serving in CYPF Ministry. There are so many individuals giving tirelessly to nurture the faith of the emerging generations.
Through this event, we hope to create a wave of appreciation and echo our heartfelt thanks across the Church.
If you would like to be involved, you can:
- Sign up for access to the RECOGNISE digital resources here.
- Within your normal church service on Sunday 12 July, plan a time to ‘recognise’ those involved with CYPF Ministry in your church.
- Post a recording of your ‘thanks’ on social media using the hashtag #RECOGNISE2026 and tag in the Diocese of Leicester.
A prayer for use in your worshipping communities
