You can find both worship resources and links to a wide variety of other worship resources below. These include links, in the list of online worship materials, to past Refugee Sunday/Sanctuary Sunday service materials provided by a range of Christian groups and denominations.

For Refugee Week 2026, which has the theme of courage, we have the following resources:

• A prayer on the theme of courage
• A prayer PowerPoint based on St Francis’ “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace”
• Suggested intercessions on the theme of courage

You might also wish to look at new resources from Welcome Churches and CTBI/Church of Sanctuary. These include talks and prayers on the theme of ‘Courage’, prayer journeys, a video Q and A on Refugee Week and more.

For Refugee Week 2025, we provided:

• two Prayers for Refugee Week 2025 on the theme of community
• suggested Intercessions for Refugee Week 2025
• Bible reflections based on the Revised Common Lectionary readings for the day.
• You might also want to look at some recent reflections: Inderjit Bhogal on ‘Loving those who are different’ (BRF), Cardinal McElroy’s ‘Catholic Social Teaching and Solidarity with Refugees and Immigrants at a Time of Uncertainty: A U.S. Perspective‘, and Theos’ ‘An island of neighbours? The Government’s new focus on integration’.

The Methodist Church in Britain has a list of possible hymns for Sanctuary Sunday. In addition, you might want to consider “Let us build a house where love can dwell” by Marty Haugen, “At the table of the world,” by Brian Wren, “Lord, who left the highest heaven”  and “When Jesus lived among us” by Timothy Dudley Sith.

Welcome Churches had a helpful video story to share, as well as suggestions for Scripture readings and hymns.
