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.

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 […]

Young Adults Coffee Morning

TBC

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.
