Multiply Residential 2024
Full Time and Growth Fund Pioneer Ministers met at Wydale Hall.
In April we had our annual Multiply Gathering where the full and part time ministers and teams spend Friday evening and Saturday together at Wydale Hall. 35 of us gathered for worship, prayer and shared good news stories of how God is at work in our contexts. We had teaching and discussion on “growing a culture of discipleship” along with afternoon breakout groups led by the lay ministers on a range of topics including baby spirituality courses, intergenerational worship and supporting families with children with additional needs. We also prioritised time for connecting, encouraging and learning from one another.
Some reflections:
“It was lovely to have the chance to talk with other people, sharing ideas and experiences and allowed real time to pause and reflect. And in such a beautiful place as well! It's the first time I've been to Wydale, so will look forward to returning at some point now!” Nicola, York
“I just wanted to say how much of a blessing the last 24 hrs have been. The worship has been amazing and really refreshing. The teaching has been both affirming and challenging, leaving me with lots to think about. Hearing people’s testimonies has been incredibly uplifting and inspiring. I loved the opportunity to lead a break out group. Then I have to mention the delicious food! What a treat to have a cooked breakfast and a main meal at lunchtime. The chance to stay over at Wyedale also made a real difference. I have come home feeling like I’ve been away for a week. God has refreshed and refilled me ready for this summer term.” Emma, Wheldrake
