Church materials

The prayerful and active support of churches and churchgoers across the UK is essential to our work and we're happy to provide these free, downloadable resources to help churches include us in their worship in Fairtrade Fortnight.

There are two packs for use at your church during Fairtrade Fortnight.

Church service

This service has been written specially for us by Helen Garton, of the United Reformed Church. Like our other material it draws heavily on the work we are doing with small and marginalised tea producers.

This service addresses some of the big issues and explores the scriptural basis of our response.

As well as being an ordained minister and a widely-published creator of worship resources, Helen has worked in the tea industry.

Church pack

Our latest church pack has all you need to help you make fair trade part of your worship this Fairtrade Fortnight.

You’ll find themed prayers, reflections, readings, preaching notes, producer stories and activities for young people all based on our work with tea producers in India and Africa.

Used with our Big Brew and Make It Fair materials, these worship resources will provide a powerful focus for churches wanting to celebrate faith in action in a direct and effective way.

Holding an event

The theme for Fairtrade Fortnight this year is The Big Swap and a great way for churches to do encourage people to swap to Fairtrade is to hold a Big Brew. It is also an excellent way to open up your church to the community.

Find out how to run your Big Brew and how to order everything you need.

We have other resources available to help you bring justice to life.
