Vicky Baker, Children, Youth & Family Networker writes: I have the great privilege of supporting children, youth and family ministry across the EBA and if you are involved in this ministry, you don’t need me to tell you this is a busy term! Whether you are a volunteer or are the paid ministry lead in your church, you are probably up to your eyes in planning a summer camp, or maybe you are putting together the annual holiday and that’s alongside all the regular activities that happen for children and young people across the region.
I would like to draw particular attention to two areas in this prayer focus, both of which are happening in June.
Toddler Groups – The National Month of Prayer
This is organised by 1277 an ecumenical group which supports and encourages. The theme this year is The Good Shepherd and is based around the bible verses John 10: 14-16
Toddler groups are such a blessing to the community. I’ll be visiting a number of groups across the region this month to celebrate this fantastic ministry and pray with those who organise and run the groups. If you would like more information about 1277, the link is here: https://1277.org.uk/
CYF Retreat
June will also see a national gathering of CYF workers. We will be on retreat in Northamptonshire, where we aim to learn from one another, and find space to encounter God through the story of Jesus’ life and ministry.
