Booking opens for Methodist Children and Youth Assembly

Young Methodists will be inspired to make a difference in the world when they meet for the annual Methodist Church's Children and Youth Assembly.

3Generate takes place this year at Whitemoor Lakes Centre in Lichfield from 16 to 18 November.

Different streams will be on offer to 8 to 13-year-olds, 14 to 17-year-olds, and 18 to 23-year-olds.

The streams will be a chance for the youths to worship together, discuss topical issues, and bring their lives before God.

“At the heart of 3Generate is a commitment to helping young Methodists make a difference in their church, to one another and to the world,” said Methodist Youth President Sam Taylor.

“It’s an amazing opportunity to share, learn and worship together, and hopefully get a glimpse of what God’s got in store for us.”

There will also be lots of fun to be had on the high ropes courses, zip wire, and with the wide range of activities, including fencing and indoor archery.

In addition to the programme for young delegates, the Church is partnering with Cliff College to deliver high quality and innovative training for youth workers who come along with their groups to equip them in their work.

Tickets cost £80 each, including food, accommodation and all activities. Young people and their leaders may apply to their districts for help with the costs.
