God of sorrow and joy,
we bring before you the ache of our world and the wounds of our own communities.
Hold in your tender mercy all who live with the memory of violence and loss,
and all places where fear and harm overshadow daily life.
In Christ, who promises that pain will turn into joy,
stand with those who serve your Church in challenging and fragile times.
By your Spirit, guide us in the work of healing, reconciliation and peacemaking.
Renew our courage, deepen our compassion,
and weave our lives into your great tapestry of hope,
that your risen joy may yet be known among us. Amen.

Charissa Suli, President, Uniting Church in Australia

Whether you’ve been leading young people for 10 days or 10 years, youth work is always changing. Staying equipped with the right tools, insight, and encouragement is more important than ever.

That’s where the Youthscape Essentials (YSE) course comes in! It is designed to give you and your team the practical skills and character needed to support young people today.

On Wednesday 4 November 2026, from 1pm-3pm, the Methodist Discipleship Team will be hosting a special event with Youthscape. This ‘All You Need To Know’ online workshop is designed to give you everything you need to host this course in your own church or circuit.

Come along to try the material, consider different models of delivery and explore what might work best for your team.
