Saturday 4th January 2025
Last year we hosted a regional young adult event called RESET, this year the theme is ‘READY’, a call to be ready for Jesus return (Mark 13v32-37). Are the priorities in our life correct, what is stopping us being ready, are we lukewarm?
Save the date! Guest speakers and worship teams (so far Josh Green from 24/7 Prayer and Central Church Worship are joining us), more info & bookings coming soon….
What better way to start the year than with a room full of young adults expectant to worship Jesus and hear awesome teaching from guest speakers. This year we’re hosting another day working with young adult ministries across the South West, be sure to put the date in the diary and join us!
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[e]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
A group of us will be heading up to Wembley for July 7th 2024. Join us or make your own way there – do book your place for this National Gathering!

About
Our primary focus is to empower & engage young adults across the West Country through worship & community.
On AWAKEN gatherings we’ll provide opportunities to meet God and his family (from all churches both large and small) through worshiping Jesus and praying for each other along with drinking coffee, eating cookies and much more. If you’ve never been to church and you are a young adult you are very welcome to join us for any of our events… we’d love to meet you.
See our upcoming Young Adult AWAKEN events for the next time you can connect, we host something FREE every month: it’s usually a mix of visiting speakers, bands, socials and plenty of space for worship.
