Will there still be a youth furnace on a Wednesday? No, we've decided to run this alternative event once a month to make the furnace sessions more inclusive . We think it will create space and time for deeper conversations with Jesus and each other and we're really excited to get to put on a second Friday night Youth Space! 2. What can I bring to the bring and share? Fellowship over food is a key part of walking with Jesus so please bring food to eat and share with other youth that is clearly labelled with allergy information or ingredients. We will provide some basic food, for example toasties or crepes. You are also welcome to bring more exciting ingredients! We will not have the tuck shop open on Furnace evenings. 3.
