What is THE WEDNESDAY WORD?

The Wednesday Word is a weekly gift of the Gospel which encourages families to gather and talk about the things that matter most in life. The focus of conversation is guided by the Christ-centred, family-friendly, double-sided A4 Wednesday Word resource which can be photocopied from the weekly pdf and given to children to take home, or emailed to parents each week.

The Wednesday Word contains the coming Sunday Gospel along with quick, easy to read, contemporary, ‘bite-sized Catholic material which carries an imprimatur. It is simple to do and has proved extremely effective in practice.

The primary school version of The Wednesday Word seeks to encourage and enable even the busiest of parents to enrich relationships with their children and with each other, through spending a very special Family Time together. The Wednesday Word also aims to inspire and enable parents and carers to think seriously about God and the love that Jesus Christ and his Church offers them.

The Family Time custom is discussion-based and designed to be suitable for families with primary school children of all ages. The suggested Family Time theme (or ‘word’) for each week is taken from the Gospel of the subsequent Sunday or from the liturgical season. In this way it supports the RE already provided by our schools, whilst harmonising with the parish liturgy.

The Wednesday Word has been extensively trialled and has proved to be extremely successful in helping both churched and unchurched families feel closer to God and foster a closer family unit. Please see the many family testimonies on this website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Imagine a sower going out to sow. Some seeds fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
