As the people of God, we are called to live out our faith through the week, as well as when we gather together to worship on a Sunday.
#MoreThanSunday helps churches encourage an active and vibrant faith during the week, seeking to build confidence in showing and sharing our faith with all those we encounter.
#MoreThanSunday is our response to the national everyday faith movement, and the Rt Revd Dr David Walker, Bishop of Manchester writes,
“#MoreThanSunday is the Diocese of Manchester’s approach to inspiring discipleship, the living out of what it means to be baptised and to follow Jesus Christ day by day.”
#MoreThanSunday supports our diocesan mission goals of growing, nurturing and serving by:
- Inspiring church congregations to make stronger connections between what happens at their Sunday/main worship services and how they live out their faith during the week.
- Increasing the confidence of everyone in our churches by encouraging them to talk more openly about their faith in their everyday places, settings and communities.
- Equipping and resource churches to continue making positive key shifts towards enabling #MoreThanSunday Faith.
This year, the #MoreThanSunday programme runs from January to July.
