Action for Children Sunday 2011
Action for Children Sunday is designated by the
Methodist Church as one of its Special Sundays - a time to reflect
on and celebrate the work of its Children's Charity.
It is usually celebrated on the second Sunday in July as this
is closest to the anniversary of our founding on 9th July 1869, but
the day may be celebrated at another convenient time according
to local precedent.
Seeds of hope
This year we are celebrating
100 years of Action for
Children (Gweithredu dros Blant) in Wales. Our 2011
resource, entitled "Seeds of hope", is based around the gospel
parable of the Sower, reflecting our 142 year long purpose of
sowing the seeds of growth and hope across
communities. The stories within our resource are from young Welsh
people who have accessed our services, to demonstrate
the
value of our work there.
