WELCOME
Well...summer is fast approaching and there are a number of events for all ages to attend. I, personally, will be on the 5-7s team at New Wine Week B this year. If you fancy being on the kids or worship team, there's definitely space! We're also in need of jungle-esq props and budding comedy script writers so let me know if any of this resonates!
Here's a couple of the other things on offer this summer:
- New Wine 23-28 July Week A, 29 Jul - 3 Aug Week B (Peterborough)
- Walsingham Youth Pilgrimage 1-5 Aug for 11-18 year olds
- Satellites (Youthscape) 9-13 Aug (Peterborough)
- CPAS Holidays - for 8-18 year olds - various dates
- Ventures
- Primary School Ventures
- Falcon Holidays - highly subsidised, particularly for areas of deprivation
Thank you for all you do to walk, welcome and grow your mission and ministry amongst children and young people.
