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.

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 […]
