If you are aged 17 - 25 years then you are invited to join us at The Peak Centre in Edale for a time of  being together and being with God.

Advent Retreat

We have had our BIG Day Out, followed by our Youth Residential and then we met for Youth Forum. Now the half term is over and there are only a few weeks before Advent and Christmas events and activities begin... On Thursday 01 December there will be an opportunity to take a short amount of time out of the hustle and bustle. Join with other children and youth ministers from across the Yorkshire synod to pray together, to talk to one another, to walk alongside each other, and to share lunch together. We will be reflecting on the meaning of Advent and we will also be intentional in building meaningful, supportive relationships on our mutual journey's of bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to each child and young person we meet.
