District Events
Parenting Event for Lancashire and Cumbria
Wednesday 22nd September 2021, 12.00 - 1.00 pm (Free Online) focusing on supporting family life.
We are a Christian charity with a vision to see churches support and empower families in their community.
Our free online Vision Event will feature short interviews with leaders from charities supporting family life (we have Who Let The Dads Out?, Kids Matter, Parenting for Faith and Fegans joining us) and be followed by break out room opportunities to ask questions about resources to empower families, and to make connections with these great charities.
Free tickets can be registered for here, and we would be very grateful if you could spread the word across the Lancashire Methodist District network.
