Messy Easter

Online!

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. The next 'Northerly Synods Messy Church gathering' is on 28th February and will focus on Easter. 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.
