Joined Up Conference 2022

STC Sheffield Nairn Street, Sheffield

The Joined Up conference is officially 'back' for 2022.! Last year we met but it was from behind our computer screens in our own homes so we are really looking forward to gathering the Joined Up family together again next year. Planned, organised and delivered in partnership with our friends at Diocese of Sheffield, Sheffield Methodist Circuit, Christian & Sheffield Schools, and the Methodist Church Yorkshire Plus Region of the Learning Network, the Joined Up Conference is an exciting and engaging day for anyone who ministers with children, young people and families in churches and schools. Whether you are an employed worker, willing volunteer, minister or vicar, or simply someone who is interested in finding out more there will be something on offer for you to take away and use in your own ministry! We will see the return of our keynotes, workshops and famous short stories. The workshops this year include input from Jon Steel (Children and Youth Development Practitioner for the Yorkshire Synod) on how we can use the Bible as a transformational tool in our ministry, and Lorraine Webb (URC Children's & Youth Work Program Officer) on understanding the senses for those with additional needs. We are […]

FORUM for Youth Returns in 2022

Xscape Yorkshire Colorado Way, Castleford, United Kingdom

Young people are the future of the Church (or are they already the Church?) Not disciples-in-training but disciples-in-waiting (or perhaps the other way around? I can never remember)! There are a large number of cliches, like the ones above, about children and young people and the Church. Some we can read and they simply make us smirk or roll our eyes, but others can ignite a more emotive response; a more passionate response. We want to welcome children and young people into all aspects of the life and business and the Yorkshire Synod of the URC. Because we know that young people and children are the most dynamic, richest and most beautiful part of the Church. We are passionate. If you are too, join us on Saturday 19 March at Xscape Yorkshire, Castleford (easily accessible by car and train). Lunch and refreshments are provided. After lunch we will take part in some adventure activities (most likely trampolining and rock climbing). To book please confirm with Megan Tillbrook by texting or ringing 07522 220213 or emailing wilderness@urcyorkshire.org.uk.

Mental Health and Christianity Conference

Wesley Hall, Crookes

URC Yorkshire Synod is delighted to be supporting a new venture in Yorkshire on wellbeing and faith through the MENTAL HEALTH AND CHRISTIANITY CONFERENCE. The conference brings together organisations and church bodies to maintain and nurture the obvious link between Mental Health and Christianity. And how our faith impacts our mental health, and vice versa. A first of its kind. We're so excited to see this event come to life in May 2022! It will be a day full of reflection, inspiration and networking. This event is bringing together three Christian denominations as well as other consulting agencies. There'll be workshops, with a keynote speech by Dr Tasia Scrutton. For just £12 you will receive lunch and refreshments, a full day of input and reflection, and maybe even some goodies at the end! The event will take place at Wesley Hall, Crookes, Sheffield, S10 1UD. But as part of our commitment on inclusivity and reaching as many as we can, as well as our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, we will be livestreaming parts of the day too! Tickets are available for £12 if attending in-person (including lunch and refreshments), livestreaming tickets are free but we welcome donations for […]
