This free event has been organised by Care for the Family.

This autumn, we’re thrilled to be running our first ever Playtime conference online! We’ll have a programme packed with brand new talks and workshops, and you’ll even be able to interact with us via live chat. This year, we’re looking at how to be salt and light to our communities. All you have to do is sign up – free of charge – and join us:

Friday 25 September, from 7.00pm and Saturday 26 September, 9.00am – 3.00pm

Our workshops will include:
The good, the bad and the ugly of online toddler groups
Families and mental well-being in uncertain times
Parent and toddler kingdom conversations
Dads: truth, fiction and parent and toddler groups
And much more!

Your Speakers:

We’re delighted to have Rob Parsons, Katharine Hill and Rachel Turner join us as we discover how to help parents explore faith at home, and how we can bless and transform the families we serve. There will be opportunities to interact throughout the conference, by joining in with the worship – led by Sue Rinaldi – and using the live chat to engage with our workshop speakers during their sessions. We will also have a whole host of resources for sale, that will help further equip and support group leaders in all they’re doing.
