CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND: A gathering is taking place on Saturday 5 November 1.15pm to 4.15pm (lunch will be provided) at the Alona Hotel, Strathclyde Country Park, Bellshill, Motherwell ML1 3RT in order to hear the views and ideas of church workers as we consider how best to support and develop the church’s ministry with children and youth. The stimulus for this has been the review that we are carrying out on the National Youth Assembly which has raised wider questions about how we could develop the church’s ministry with children and youth. Anyone wishing to attend should confirm their attendance to Wayne Morris at wmorris@churchofscotland.org.uk Also use this email if you wish to be added to the distribution list of the Mission & Discipleship Council so that you are periodically alerted to information on learning and development provision that is appropriate to you in your capacity as a person working with children and youth in the church.
