Synod Day, 8 June 2013
The Synod Day is fast approaching and preparations are progressing well.
What we need, please, is a commitment from you and your church/es to come and share what promises to be an inspiring day of fellowship, worship and lots of fun for all ages.
Please will you remind YOUR church/es about the day and encourage any who are hesitating to sign up.
It would be really helpful to have numbers and names in advance – just let someone in the Synod office know. It is particularly important that anyone planning to travel by one of the Synod-provided coaches notifies the organiser for your region. Travelling by coach removes the strain from car drivers and gives added opportunities for conversation and fellowship.
We hope that lots of children and young people will attend. For their safety, please pass on to any children and young people from your church/es a copy of the attached parental consent form. A form MUST be completed for each child and young person before they can participate in the day’s events: this should be handed in on arrival to Judy Harris and her team.
If you have any questions about the Day, please contact the Synod office staff and we’ll try to answer them for you.
