About this Event

Part of the 2-year initiative to help churches engage with mission, the Diocesan Day Out has two aims

1. To inspire, energise and encourage the whole Diocese to engage in mission in a more intentional way and as appropriate for each individual church context

2. To be uplifted as the whole Diocese gather to worship and have fun together. Being β€œall together in one place” gives opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work as at Pentecost

The Diocesan Day Out will have four strands running simultaneously 10am to 2.45pm. Alongside the 3 strands timetabled below (draft only!) will be a children/ families activities with inflatables, puppets.
