Our Circuit Assembly is our bi-annual gathering of trustees who make decisions about the life of our circuit and the way in which its resources are used to support our churches, projects, chaplaincies and schools.

This years meeting will be virtual with a closed meeting link sent to trustees nearer the time. The morning will feature a strategic conversation about models of circuit, with the business happening in the afternoon.

If you a member in our circuit and would like more information about the meeting, please ask your church's representatives to the assembly. Check with one of your church stewards if you are not sure who that might be.

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

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.
