Children and youth
All children age 0-18 (up to end of Y13) need to be pre-registered to enable us to prepare well, get large enough teams of leaders in place and enough resources. We also need a big team of volunteers to support our children’s and youth work, so please help if you are able.
Macy Counsell is passionate about seeing young people catch Gods heart for prayer and stepping into their callings to burn for Jesus. She has previously worked with the Message Trust reaching young people all across the UK through creative mission. She currently lives in Manchester, UK and attends and works for Ramp Church. She loves iced coffee, good food and singing!
Pre-registration closed Wednesday 16th October. If you still need to register please arrive at 10am to register your child on Sunday morning.
Volunteering
Our celebrations cannot run without a team of volunteers serving in a variety of roles. Please use the links below to sign up and offer your help! As well as welcome, refreshments and car parking we’ve added a site team, to be available from 8am for general helping particularly moving boxes of toys around and setting up tables, so please sign up if you are able!
If you have not signed up to volunteer but would still like to please email Carol Byrne
Travel and parking
There is lots of on-street parking in nearby roads, as well as the option to park at Seacourt Park and Ride and either walk (20mins) or take a bus to the Osney Island stop, a short walk from The King's Centre (there will not be dedicated shuttle buses from the P&R).
Parking at The King's Centre is very limited and we want to make the celebration accessible to all, therefore parking spaces for those who need them, must be booked in advance.
If walking in from off-site would be problematic because you have disability or mobility issues, or elderly members of your family or lots of small children, then you can reserve a space using this form below (if you are unsure please contact CarolB@rootsandrivers.uk)
