3Generate. “Tune into God”

Last weekend a number of our young people attended the Methodist Church event for children and young people on the theme of “Tune into God” to explore faith, express themselves and engage in important conversation.  It is a safe space for children and young people to talk about what matters to them, engaging in important conversations about life and faith and encountering God in different ways.  Activities included dancing, climbing, playing, chatting, praying, watching, laughing, moving and exploring faith.

During this morning’s service some of our young people will tell us about their experiences at 3generate.
