What’s on?

One of the biggest changes to Faith Alive! for 2009 is the removal of the printed “What’s on?” section, which was inserted into the May and October issues in previous years. However, this was only included with UK magazines, and was quickly out of date. Therefore, from 2009, the “What’s on?” section will appear here, on our website, and be updated on a monthly basis. This will make it easier to track Youth Weekends and other gatherings that might be of interest, and help you plan future weekends! Items marked with an asterisk (*) are new entries since last month.

If you would like to book onto a youth weekend listed below, then visit YouthWeekends.com. This is a new online booking service, which offers one-click booking for young people, and centralised administration for event organisers. Click here for more information (opens in a new window). Any events in the list below that are shown in blue can be booked online via YouthWeekends.com.
