A conference is to be held in Dunblane in September to help congregations explore work with families and children in their early years.
Statistics show more than half (52%) of the UK’s under-5s attend a churchbased toddler group, giving the Church an opportunity to have a positive impact on them at a crucial time in their development.
The Roots and Wings conference, at Dunblane Cathedral on Saturday September 14, will be an opportunity for churches to consider how early years and family ministry can be a significant part of parish ministry. It is suitable both for churches already involved with such groups and those considering starting one.
