URC congregations all invited to celebrate Disability Awareness Sunday 2026 ‘One Body, Many Parts’

United Reformed churches around the UK are invited to mark Disability Awareness Sunday (DAS) 2026. The official date is 27 September 2026, but churches can celebrate on a date that works for them.  Watch out for other online/local Disability Awareness Week events (20-27 Sept). The DAS 2026 theme, ‘One Body, Many Parts’, draws on 1 Corinthians 12 and celebrates the truth that the Church is not complete without disabled people. A free, creative service resource is available to download from charity Through the Roof, packed with ideas for the theme.

The resource is written by Triona Brading, a young autistic Christian author, ministry trainee and Roofbreaker disability champion with Through the Roof. She brings insight, joy and fresh perspectives to our understanding the Body of Christ.  

FREE resource for churches!
The free Disability Awareness Sunday 2026 Resource includes:

●      A 6-min video for use in worship, plus two other short videos on the theme

●      Ready-to-use service ideas, with Bible notes, song ideas and prayers

●      Practical ideas for all-age worship and youth activities sheet.

You can also order ‘One Body, Many Parts’ handouts for everyone attending a UK DAS event.

And if this is your first DAS celebration, our original DAS resource is still available at the same link, on Luke 5: four people breaking ‘through the roof’ for their paralysed friend to meet Jesus.

Churches can request the free DAS resources now at:
