CandY is a chance for children and young people in our churches to let us know what they think. The bishop is inviting any children and young people from our churches aged 6-17 to come to a special gathering called CandY . There’ll be games, worship, fun, a giant picnic and a chance to talk about the future of the church through video snapshots, art, a silent debate and a good natter. The FIRST EVER meets on Saturday 12th March. We’d love as many churches as possible to send some children and young people (with at least 1 adult please!) to this pioneering event!
DATE: SATURDAY 12TH MARCH 2011 START TIME: 9.30AM END TIME: 3 PM PLACE: WOLVERLEY CE SECONDARY SCHOOL NEAR KIDDERMINSTER DY11 5XQ WHO’S INVITED?

Bishop John added his personal invitation to all children and young people in the diocese
This year for the first time, I am asking you to help me hear the voices of children and young people from our churches alongside our Spring Synod on Saturday 12th March at Wolverley CE Secondary School near Kidderminster. I have asked Emma Pettifer and Sarah Brush, our Children’s and Youth Officers, to provide a fun-filled day of games and activities as well as discussions and creative explorations of issues facing the church now and in the future.
I would like as many parishes as possible to send children and young people to join together from across the diocese to give their views about the church and their part in it now and in the future. Please support this day with your time and with your prayer.
