I had a wonderful day in Blackpool supporting Blackburn Diocesan Board of Education. A heartfelt thank you for inviting Ben Jones to talk about how Gamification leads to faithful conversations. He discussed using smartphones and online gaming to engage with a generation to explore faith and help young people leverage technology for missional purposes. Ben Green

SENSE OF ADVENTURE 2025
Last week to book on.

We are running a fun, faith-filled and action-packed residential for Year 6s who are moving up to Year 7! This is an invaluable experience for young people to help them build confidence and feel ready and equipped for this secondary school adventure.

Sense of Adventure is a one night sleepover that includes worship, games, food, activities and teaching all focussed on supporting the young people as they make this transition.

Drop is on Friday at 5pm and pick up is on Saturday at 6pm. The location will be all saints Ilkely and will be confirmed soon.

We're welcoming all youth across Leeds and Bradford at a cost of £27.50 each (bursaries are available upon request to reduce this down to £17.50). Youth leader and young leader tickets are also available. Leaders or parents can book their young people on at the link below, and there is also a parental consent form you can find there that needs to be filled in.

BOOK HERE - https://events.solidrock.io/missional-generation/A-Sense-Of-Adventure-Year-6-Camp-2025

Hope to see you and your young people there!

It was great to be invited by to talk all things AI and Youth Ministry—here’s a peek into how we’re supporting youth work across the board! We can support you through faith filled training, consultancy and development.

It’s a real joy as Missional Generation to partner with local churches and primary schools. We’re currently working g with St. Paul’s in Shipley to support a weekly listening activity with children in years five and six at Whitecliff Primary School. The focus is on exploring their thoughts, feelings, and the RE curriculum, as well as involving them in collective worship and planning experiences for their families. It’s been great working with Reverends Brian and Emma, as well as Alex from the Growing Faith initiative in the Diocese of Leeds, Church of England, to support these fantastic young children.If you would like to talk to us about how we can support you in your church and local schools, get in contact with us. We would love to talk about what this could look like in your context.
