Each week around 14 million Australians meet to play sport. Fields and courts all across our country are packed with players - and those cheering them on.
Today, the sports club is one of the heartbeats of our community. And we- the Church are being invited to be there. The demand for Sports Chaplains is greater than ever before.
Today, the sports club is one of the heartbeats of our community. And we- the Church are being invited to be there. The demand for Sports Chaplains is grater than ever before.
Thousands of potential chaplains are already standing on the sidelines or sitting on benches in Community sporting courts and fields.
Sports Sunday is all about encouraging them to get in the game.
How it Works?
Step 1 Register your interest
Fill out the form to let us know you're interested in running a Sports Sunday at your church. You can pick any day that suits you, or join in on September 10
We will then send you everything you need to plan a Sports Sunday for your Church.
Step 2 Get ready
Get ready for Sports Sunday by talking to your minister about the service plan, and preparing resources you will use on the day such as seat drops and videos.
You might also like to announce Sports Sunday in the lead up to the day, or put posters up around your chruch.
Step 3 Sports Sunday
The goal of Sports Sunday is to help your congregation see opportunities to serve as chaplains in your local sporting communities.
Ask your congregation if they will consider "Going" to train and serve as a chaplain, or "Giving" towards sending someone else. They can do this by filling out a Give&Go Card.
