Safety First!

This coming Monday 20th of March at Llandudno Youth for Christ we will be holding our next Monthly Meet. This is a great free training night for youth workers, church leaders and parents. We cover a wide variety of youth work related topics, such as the recent session we covered with Andy Hughes (Director of Urban Saints Wales) about how to connect young people with the church.

This was a great evening, with lots of thought provoking discussion and great resourcing for all that attended.

These are great evenings for all that come to them.

Not only do you get great training for free, but we also provide hot tea, herbal tea, coffee & hot chocolate; plus a plethora of snacks, fruit & biscuits. There is also free parking at the event’s venue: Ty Llywelyn Community Centre in Llandudno.

It is well worth coming along to these events, especially this months.

This month we will be holding our annual ‘Safeguarding & Child Protection Made Simple‘ training evening. The event will start at 7pm and be finished by 9pm. It is definitely something you should think about coming to if you work with young people in a youth club, church etc.

It is important to be kept up to date with safeguarding, especially as those who work with young people.

We know how importantly Jesus regarding looking after, honouring and keeping young people safe. “At that time the followers came to Jesus. They said, “Who is the greatest in the holy nation of heaven?” Jesus took a little child and put him among them. He said,“For sure, I tell you, unless you have a change of heart and become like a little child, you will not get into the holy nation of heaven. Whoever is without pride as this little child is the greatest in the holy nation of heaven. Whoever receives a little child because of Me receives Me. But whoever is the reason for one of these little children who believe in Me to fall into sin, it would be better for him to have a large rock put around his neck and to be thrown into the sea….Be sure you do not hate one of these little children. I tell you, they have angels who are always looking into the face of My Father in heaven.” – Matthew 18:1-10

So let us get trained up and resourced to look after and protect the young people we are working with and helping to grow in their faith. Come along to our next Monthly Meet on Monday 20th of March at 7pm; Ty Llywelyn Community Centre, Ffordd Yr Orsedd, Llandudno, LL30 1LA.

We hope to see you there!
