Back to Church Sunday 2012

E-mail

Back to Church Sunday will be held on 30th September 2012 and the team is busy preparing resources and encouraging churches to get involved this year. This year there should not be a clash with the September holiday weekend as for many that falls on the weekend of the 23rd September so 2012 presents a great opportunity to participate in Back to Church Sunday at the same time as others not only in the UK but around the world.

ACTS is continuing to be the registering body in Scotland. Registrations for churches will open on 12th April and can be made through the website www.backtochurch.co.uk When you register select ACTS as your church/denomination. The website also contains lots of information and resources from previous Back to Church Sundays.

Michael Harvey, the Back to Church Sunday developer, will be in Scotland in the next couple of weeks and a number of events are planned. Details of these are below. If you would like any further information about any of the events please contact Michael directly as ACTS has not been involved in organising these.
