Rediscover how you can flourish in your faith... Join us in February at the University of York for our all-age winter FLOURISH festival: WOVEN THREADS
A diverse 3-day event with speakers, workshops, worship, activities and fresh inspiration. Open to everyone - no requirment to be Methodist or from Yorkshire.
Following on from our successful events in 2019 and 2023, feel connected to something bigger and rediscover your place in God's big tapestry. Come warm your spirit with diverse music, engaging talks, interactive workshops, quiet spaces, arts & crafts, friendship, celebration and renewal. Plus a dedicated Children & Youth stream and activities for families. Something for everyone.
We are hoping for 1,000 people, but don't let that put you off! If you're not a fan of big crowds and loud music, don't worry, our Christian gathering has lots of options to suit your preferences. Smaller spaces, quiet room, Kairos Yurt, outside prayer walk, Cafe Worship, coffee & conversation. A weekend to pause and reconnect: with God, with one another, and with the bigger story we share. Be among friends old and new.
