Refugee Week

Refugee Week runs from 16-22 June 2025, with 20 June being World Refugee Day.

This year, corps are invited to pray for refugees during gathered worship, in a meaningful and transformative way. This might be on Refugee Sunday (22 June), over several Sundays in the summer, or at another time in the year.

The following resource has been prepared to help lead these prayers:
