July – what’s happening…

We’re so excited to be able to gather in larger groups this summer! There will of course be some restrictions on numbers, so please sign up so we can organise with care so as many people can get involved as possible! There are more details via the links too.

Sunday afternoons in July:

Sunday 4th July, 1.30pm-4pm | Picnic at Didsbury Park – mvuk.org/SummerPicnic

Sunday mornings at 422

We’ve so loved seeing so many of you in real life on a Sunday morning at 422. There’s still a lot to do, but the place is really starting to come to life. You’re so welcome to join us – there are a huge variety of jobs to do so please don’t count yourself out if wall demolition isn’t for you!

Please continue to sign up each time you come so we can comply with Covid regulations.

Vineyard Kids at the Farm | (Pre-school age group)

If you have kids of pre-school age, we’d love you and the kids to join us at Reddish Vale Farm. They’ll have a load of fun seeing the animals, and the highlight for some of you may well be just seeing other adult humans. Head to mvuk.org/AtTheFarm to get your tickets!

There’s more!

Here are all the other dates and sign ups for this month:

Hey Mama | Monday 5th and 19th July, 10.30am
If you are a mum with children under 2, we’d love to welcome you to join our little community, meeting on and offline on alternate Monday mornings. We are loving getting to know one another and supporting each other as mums, and there is definitely a space for you within that. Get in touch at mvuk.org/HeyMama and we’ll send you the details. 

Mens’ Football | Monday 12th and 26th July, 9pm
5-a-side is back! We could not be more excited. All skill levels more than welcome. Sign up at mvuk.org/5-a-side

Monthly Prayer | Tuesday 20th July, 8pm
Prayer changes us and it changes cities! We are hungry and desperate. Throughout this time we intend to gather once a month to pray and meditate on passages from the Bible together. Access the next gathering via mvuk.org/PrayerGathering

Small Groups | Wednesday and Thursday Nights
If you are yet to join a small group, they really are the heartbeat of who we are and the spring board to serving the city. Please get in touch to find out more.

Summer festivals:

DTI | 30th July – 2nd August; 2nd August – 5th August  

We got there. This summer we’re hoping to gather together in person in Nottingham, not once, but twice for a celebration like you’ve not seen before.

We’ll be worshipping, dancing our hearts out and lifting Jesus high. There’s even rumours of fair ground rides, food vans and more.

We’ve upgraded the accommodation, wave leaking tents and portaloos goodbye. This year we’re staying in Uni Halls, imagine, real showers, real beds and cooked breakfast every morning.

We’re so excited to be able to gather physically with you all and are expectant for everything that God’s going to do.

This isn’t a year to miss! >>> dreamingtheimpossible.org/summer21
