Please contact Barrie if you would like some support with transitions. \n\nHelping Children Transition to Secondary School\nIt’s a familiar story: you have wonderful connections with your local primary school\, but when the children move to “big” school\, they seem to vanish.

Let’s work together to make this transition smooth and supportive for the children in our care. \nJoin us for one of our sessions on 3 April 2025 at The Rock:\n10am-12pm\n7pm-9pm \nPlease click here to sign up. \n  \nThese meeting will be organised by the Youth Connect Team\, including Jo Wetherall (Senior Children and Families Connector) and Barrie Voyce (Senior Youth Connector). \nJo supports churches across the diocese in developing their work with children and families\, including the nurturing of faith in the home and school-parish relationships. \nBarrie leads the growing network of deanery youth connectors\, enabling and equipping effective youth ministry across the diocese.

SUMMARY:Run the Race
DESCRIPTION:Therefore\, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses\, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely\, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us\, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith\, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross\, disregarding its shame\, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.  \nHebrews 12:1-2  \nAre you a New Years Resolution person? All those great decisions and good intentions… it’s not that they are a bad thing\, right?  \nHow do we run the race with endurance\, not falling into trying\, but rather training? \nWhat would it mean to make choices at the beginning of the New Year that allow us to flourish\, rest\, be more creative\, and joyful?  \nAs I have listened to felt needs around the Diocese in these first six months\, how we are to manage our time\, make good choices about what to do and\, probably more importantly\, what not to do\, has come up all over the place. Run the race seeks to offer support into that.  \nThis is not so much a training day\, more led retreat. \nIn it there will be time to discern priorities\, get things in the diary that give us life [yes\, really\, bring your diary – let’s do this!]\, be realistic about what needs to go\, find space for that thing you’ve wanted to do for ages… above all\, to be reminded by God that you are beloved\, and don’t need to do anything to earn God’s love. \nTo book your place please click here. \nLed by: \nKate Stacey\, Collaborative Ministry Lead: Lifelong learning and Becca Faal\, Strategic Lead for Safeguarding Training & Learning. \nThe Revd Kate Stacey leads on the development of an innovative and collaborative approach to ensuring all ministries\, licensed\, lay and ordained grow and flourish.  Kate develops and delivers the CMD programme for everyone. \n  \n  \n  \nBecca is the lead for all safeguarding training and learning.
