Meeting of the Ministries Committee
Youth Assembly is back for 2022 and celebrating 50 years of the URC. Come and join young people (aged 15-26) from across the URC to 'commemorate the past, celebrate the present and create the future' together. A group will be going from Yorkshire Synod and the synod will pay for you to go if you book before the 11th Nov deadline (after that deadline the synod will pay £115 but you will need to pay the extra £30). We also hope to be able to offer free transport to and from the event. If you want to know more, get in touch, or fill in the booking form here. Watch out for more information and updates here.BOOK NOW!!!! BOOK NOW!!!! Book here
The Children & Youth Development Workers across the Five Northerly synods have been meeting together with those who lead Messy Church locally. This has provided space for sharing and learning together. These gatherings are open to ALL Messy Churches so if you would like to join (for your first or fifth time) please do come along and invite others too.

We will be opening the session with the opportunity for you to share, if you wish, something that went really well (or really bad!) for you at your Advent / Christmas Messy Church. However, there is no obligation on you to share anything and, if you do, please keep it succinct - time is really tight. Zoom link below. Contact Megan Tillbrook at wilderness@urcyorkshire.org.uk for the password.

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 […]
