This is an opportunity for any young people in our churches who are between 8 & 18, to gather together with young people from other parts of the country. As a Circuit, we are committed to supporting anyone who wishes to go along. Rev'd Liz Harris & Family Worker Sarah Jessop are going for the Saturday and would love to be joined by anyone else who might like to go!

What is 3-Generate?

3-Generate is the Methodist Church in Britain's annual youth assembly, taking place every October at the NEC in Birmingham. Children and young people from ages 8-18 from across the Connexion come together for a weekend jam-packed with faith, fun and worship. This year, the theme is 'On the way'.
