Synod Together. The Synod meets twice a year, in March and October. As part of the journey of becoming an inclusive Synod, these meetings are open to all ages, coming together to explore and ensure all voices are heard.
Synod Children’s Days are for ages 7 – 11 years. These new look events are being developed to explore the Assembly theme. In 2018 the theme is Pilgrimage. Meet new friends, have fun and explore your faith in one day.
The Wessex Summer Camp (RE:) is an annual camping* event for young people 11-17 years old. Young adults aged 18 and over can attend as leaders. It is a time to have fun with others through a variety of themed activities and workshops. We explore the Christian faith and learn more about our amazing God through streamed discussions and worship. *If you’re not able to camp, we have indoor accommodation too.
The Wessex Synod Youth Executive (WSYE) is an elected group of up to ten young people aged between 14 and 25 from local churches in Wessex Synod. SYE meets three times a year. They have a passion to promote the voice of young people in the Synod, and they enjoy learning and journeying together. Hear from members of the SYE here. WSYE Handbook
