Faith at Home
with rachel turner
(parenting for faith)
Thursday

Raising children in the faith has always primarily been the responsibility of parents and carers, but this fact has been brought into sharper focus than ever through the COVID19 outbreak.
Rachel Turner shared on how we can seize this moment to root faith in the home and equip parents and carers to make children and young people to be today's passionate disciples. You can watch part of Rachel's talk here and you can download a full resource pack bursting with ideas around bringing faith into the home from here..

EFFECTIVE
EVANGELISM ONLINE
with DAN RANDALL
(HOPE TOGETHER)
Thursday
8th Oct 2020
10-12noon
COVID19 accelerated the shift of children's and young people's worlds from face to face to online. With everything from PE lessons to GP appointments now available on screen, to be absent from the internet is to be out of sight and out of mind.
Dan Randall will be sharing his insights on how we safely and effectively engage in the online space, exploring how to effectively share the Gospel online and equip our children and young people to do the same.
A CHRISTMAS
LIKE NO OTHER
with INPUT FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF CHILDREN's, YOUTH AND FAMILIES' MINISTRY PRACTITIONERS AND AGENCIES
Thursday
12th NOV 2020
10-12noon
By mid November we hope to have a fair idea of what the COVID19 restrictions around Christmas celebrations will be, so join us to share in a wide variety of presentations, discussion and debate around just how we celebrate the birth of Light in a season that this year feels full of darkness.
With input from major mission agencies and workers on the ground with great ideas, come and find inspiration on how we can reimagine Christingle, rework the Nativity and engage with children, young people and families in a brand new way this Christmas.
NEW BEGINNINGS
Keynote speaker to be confirmed
Thursday
14th JAN 2021
10-12noon
Even before the COVID19 crisis, the Children's Society's annual "Good Childhood" report was charting a continued decrease in happiness among 10-15 year olds in the UK. In 2020, 15 year olds in the UK were among the saddest and least satisfied with their lives in Europe.
That cannot be what the Lord wants for our children and we will be exploring together how we as workers, parents, volunteers and church leaders can respond in 2021 and, in Jesus' name, make it the year that the tide begins to turn.
