Location: Local Churches

Laitysunday2023 Facebook

Laity Sunday is a time to recognize the work and mission of all laity not only within the walls of the church but in everyday lives.

The theme of this year's Laity Sunday is "Rise Up – Remain committed to Love’s teachings " (II Timothy 1:13). The 2023  focus is on what it means to hold on to the pattern of healthy words heard—words heard in those whose lives have been remade and restored by grace.
