Justice is integral to our faith. Church Action on Poverty and Christian Aid have teamed up to produce a new poster that your whole church can use throughout 2026.
The poster contains 26 ideas that you and your church could try in 2026.
Some are very easy, some will take a bit more planning, but all are worthwhile.
We’ve sent this to all churches on our existing mailing lists, but if you’d like a copy then you can download it above.
Let justice roll on like a river and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.
Amos 5:24
How to use the poster
- If you’re printing your own copy, please print in colour in A3 size. If you’ve ordered a posted copy, it will be on its way.
- Display it where lots of people will see it – perhaps in your church hall, or near the entrance, or wherever you share teas and coffees!
- Encourage church members and staff to look through the ideas and take responsibility for making some of them happen.
- Mark them off as you go
- Let us know how you get on! You can email us, or use the hashtag #church26in26.
A call to action
One of the first churches to sign up was Parson Cross Methodist Church at Mt Tabor in Sheffield.
Pioneer minister Nick Waterfield said:
"We need to become a Just Church through our actions, and not just talk about it. As Nelson Mandela famously said:
'Do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognise that the world is hungry for action, not words'."
