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.

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.
Join our monthly conversation exploring different aspects of mission. Join us if you have a passion, if you have questions, if you are just curious, or if you don't really think it is for you! We will spend an hour together, talking, thinking and praying about mission. And over the coming months we will discover more of where God might be leading us, as individuals, churches, and as a synod. Don’t worry if you can’t make it each month, each time is a one-off. Get in touch for the zoom details and pass them on, and then come along next time. Contact Jon Steel to join in.
We are so excited to be able to invite you to our retreat weekend for young adults! If you are aged 17 - 25 years then you are invited to join us at The Peak Centre in Edale for a time of being together and being with God. We know how important it is to take time out for ourselves; to get away from our day to day responsibilities and pressures to renew our bodies and our hearts, and to return home feeling energised and rested. There will be opportunities over the weekend to engage in Bible study, prayer, discussions and other activities however this really is a weekend for YOU to rest in the presence of God and to retreat in the way that works for you. More details in due course. Please contact Megan Tillbrook on 07522 220213 for more information or to book please complete the following form.
