We all know it’s good to talk but it’s even better when we feel listened to and heard. This free one-day workshop is about how, in all our conversations - in church, at work or with family, friends or neighbours - we can ensure all parties know they’ve been heard. Come and join us if you want to make your conversations more effective and enjoyable or you just want to be re-energised and resourced! Saturday 16th July 2022 - 10am - 4pm at Yorkshire Synod Office Led by Emmanuelle Bastide-Wilson & Jenny Poulter Refreshments & lunch will be provided and travel expenses can be claimed Cover image by Siggy Parratt-Halbert www.stinkingweasel.co.uk

It all started just before lockdown in 2020. A group of young adults from across the Yorkshire Synod met in Huddersfield to drink coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate), to build friendships and to read the Bible together. Throughout lockdown, we met for a time using zoom and once we felt it safe to do so we began to meet again each month in a different town or city across Yorkshire to share fellowship together again. Below are the up and coming dates for ‘Coffee Mornings Together’: Saturday 18 June, York Saturday 30 July, Sheffield Saturday 10 September, Bradford Saturday 08 October, Synod Venue TBC Saturday 05 November, Huddersfield Saturday 10 December, York If you consider yourself to be a ‘young adult’ (minimum age 17 years) and you are searching for a place to meet others, build friendship and to talk about faith, please do come along and join us. Venues decided closer to the date. Please contact Megan Tillbrook 07522 220213. We are also running a weekend retreat for Young Adults. Click here for more information.
This event is the synod’s annual youth residential for young people aged 11 – 16 years and this year we will be gathering at Peak Venture (a Kingswood centre in Sheffield) from Friday 30 September – Sunday 2nd October. At Peak Venture we will be pushing our limits and having a go at some exciting outdoor activities, filling our bellies full of delicious food (and tuck) and we will even be doing some evening activities. Alongside this there will be opportunities to get to know young people from across the synod, build friendships, pray and share together.
