What's happening at ecclesias around the world?

From 2009, the Fraternal Gatherings section from The Christadelphian magazine will also appear here on our website, and be updated on a monthly basis. This will make it easier to access the information, and help you plan future weekends! Items shown in colour are new or updated entries since last month.

Any events in the list below that are shown bold, underlined and in colour can be booked online via 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).

If you want a list focussing more on youth activities including Youth Weekends, then you can find them on the Faith Alive! What's on? page.
