'Little Big Day Out' is a chance for families and children from your church to have fun and spend time together after so many months of isolation and limits on our lives. We cannot offer a large organised programme due to ongoing Covid restrictions but we can provide some space for fun and 'time out'. We hope you and your families will find it valuable to just be together. Tickets for this event are already at a reduced price but further subsidy is available, so please get in touch to discuss your church or families' circumstance. Tickets are needed for everyone over 90cm tall (however old you are). You can click on the poster below to download a copy. Download a booking form here. Bookings can be made by families or or you can arrange a group to go together. Unaccompanied adults are not allowed into the park but any adults who are taking or helping with children are welcome. Bookings need to be received by Weds 1st Sep. Please contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you again in September :)

This meeting will be at the Synod Office and also with an online option. For agenda/documents please login into the members area.
Come along to say hello and get yourselves comfortable with how synod will work this October! Feel free to ask any questions you may have, either about the practicalities of meeting on Zoom, or in-person. There'll be plenty of people on hand to help out! Bring a brew, see you there!
also After all the restrictions of the past year we are really pleased to be able to bring you the synod Youth Weekend again 1st - 3rd Oct at Kingswood Activity Centre, Dearne Valley. Last year was particularly hard on young people, so we are glad to be able to offer a residential weekend to socialise, have fun and join in all sorts of activities with friends. There will also be time for young people to try praying and to look at the Bible together in a way that will be completely accessible if you don't have any faith or church experience. The cost of the weekend is only £25 per person. Leaders from URC groups will be welcome to come with any young people from their churches too. Please get in touch if you would like to join us. You can download an information letter and booking form. You can also download the poster below to distribute. Please do get in touch if you have any questions: wilderness@urcyorkshire.org.uk
