Father's Day is a great opportunity for young people to show their appreciation for the father figures in their lives.
Whether it’s a Dad, Grandad, Stepdad, or a ‘Spiritual Dad’, male influences are so important and it’s good to spend the day honouring them!
In the UK, Father's Day is always held on the third Sunday in June, the same day as in the USA. Before the 20th Century, it was only celebrated by the European Catholic church, but now many nations around the world have nominated a special day for celebrating Dads.
It can be a tricky time for some; a day like this can remind us of difficult situations surrounding paternal relationships. However, it’s also a fitting time to reflect on God as our Heavenly Father, who fulfils everything that it means to be a Father.
Although we would always recommend being sensitive to your group's specific family situations, we’ve collated the following resources to equip your group for Father's Day.
