Safeguarding Sunday – 19th November 2023 – Holy Communion Service
Safeguarding Sunday is an awareness-raising campaign organised by Christian safeguarding charity Thirtyone:eight, and is taking place on Sunday 19th November 2023.
Holy Cross Church Daventry is taking part to highlight the importance of creating safer places for all, within the Holy Communion Service at 10am.
We will be joining thousands of other churches across the UK to share this message and demonstrate unity. We also want to take this opportunity to thank and pray for those who have the responsibility of coordinating safeguarding in Holy Cross so we can protect vulnerable people together.
We believe that safeguarding is an outward sign of our faith in a loving and just God – the God who calls us to:
Speak up on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves and to defend the rights of the vulnerable (Proverbs 31:8).
Justice and hope are at the heart of the Christian message. So let us gather and celebrate those who work behind the scenes to protect vulnerable people and make our church a safer place for all.

Holy Cross Daventry Safeguarding Officer
