Thank you for joining us this Autumn as we pray for the work of SU.

Nationwide, children and young people without church connections are turning up on church doorsteps. This is happening at most churches we speak to, whether urban, suburban or rural.

University student Josh Aka first encountered SU when he did Amplify Young Evangelists Academy*, which helps young people to share their faith with their peers.

Recent research points to a spiritual hunger emerging among children and young people that we’ve not witnessed in decades.

Prince Laryea recently joined SU as Team Leader for the South region. He tells us about his faith journey, why he’s excited about his new role, and the Bible verse that is currently at the forefront of his mind. 
 

For those of us who were alive in 1999, do you remember the buzz of approaching the millennium? The millennium bug? Y2K? The genuine fear, by some, that computers would fail at midnight on 1 January 2000? 

Faith Guide and trainee vicar Mel Osborne found herself in unfamiliar territory when she became Children and Families Worker for three parishes in the New Forest.

Thank you for joining us this Winter as we pray for the work of SU.

In our last Connecting You, we shared how young people without church connections have been just turning up at churches nationwide. SU Mission Enabler Jordan Cousins can empathise deeply with them – because he was a ‘turner upper’ too!

Faith Guide Rachel Hanford resides in the former mining community of New Ollerton, near Nottingham.
