Refugee Week

The theme of Refugee Week 2023 (19-25 June) is ‘Compassion’, with 20 June being World Refugee Day.

Below you will find resources to mark this significant time, including content for Refugee Sunday (25 June). With the number of displaced people in history higher than ever, how will we, as the church, choose to respond?
