To provide a way to learn, contribute, as well as equip young people and adults involved with the United Reformed Church (91º£½ÇÂÒÂ×) in as many ways as possible, 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth is launching Youth re-ASSEMBLED.
Each month throughout the year, 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth will focus on a different theme or topic.
These are:
February – Activism and Advocacy
March – Israel and Palestine: The conflict in the Holy Land
April – Vocation: Unearthing your inner superhero
May – Hostile Environments
June – Pride month
July – World Church
August – Community
September – Environment
October – Anti-racism
November – Mental Health
December – Faith, hope and joy
For each theme there will be a range of social media posts, along with Trialogues (91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth’s live discussion panel broadcast on YouTube fortnightly), free Zoom events as well as practical ways that people can use to make a difference from the comfort of their own homes.
The programme of events follows on from 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth (dis)ASSEMBLED held digitally from 30-31 January after 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth made the difficult decision to cancel its Youth Assembly due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Reuben Watt, 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth Moderator, said: “One of the most important parts of Youth Assembly is the workshops that take place. This is where we delve deeper into topics that interest and matter to us as 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth. As the Assembly was cancelled, we have explored ways in which we can continue to bring young people together despite the lockdowns and restrictions.
“91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth (dis)ASSEMBLED turned out great, and we look forward to continuing to bring young people and adults together through 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth re-ASSEMBLED. Do keep an eye out on 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Youth’s social media channels or speak to your Synod Youth Representative/CYDO+ to find out more.
“We really hope that anyone between the ages of 11 to 25 with links to the 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× will be able to engage with this content.â€
