FATHERS DAY- SUNDAY, 4 SEPTEMBER

We hope that all fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other men in the lives of our children have a Happy Father’s Day on Sunday, 4 September. It is a day for people to show their appreciation for fathers and father figures. 

Year 1 will be leading a special Father’s Day Liturgy at our Monday morning assembly, 5 September. We hope many of our fathers and grandfathers will be able to attend.

Lord God, who is Father of all,

send your blessing down on these men who are fathers.

For those who in the night worry for their child,

grant them your comfort.

For those who in the day work and struggle to provide for their child,

send them your strength.

For those who mourn a child,

hold them in your love.

For those who play, laugh, sing and dance with their child,

you share in their joy.

Lord God, who is Father of all,

walk with these fathers, in the light times and the dark.

Bless them, and may they each be a living symbol of your fatherly love;

a symbol to their children and all who they encounter.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
