Unlocking the Prodigal Event and Resource.

An Unlock Bible activity event based on Luke 15.

This took place at Windy Nook in Gateshead.

Unlocking the Prodigal poster with details >>
This is some of the feedback we received after the event:-

In December I chatted to the people who came and got overwhelmingly positive feedback. The gist of it was that it had taken a story they were very familiar with and helped them see it with fresh eyes - that it had helped it move from something they knew with their heads, to something that touched their hearts, and that it had provoked some deep and helpful conversations, arising out of the themes of the parable and the way it connected with their own lives and experiences.They saidit had been a lot of fun as well, and that the lunch was good!

I was asked some really good questions by church members, such as, "How can we do more of this, for ourselves?" and "How could we draw in those on the edges of the church, who don't already know the stories in the Bible, for something a bit like this?" I look forward to exploring what the answers to those questions might look like, in the months to come!

Our Lent course has had a very strong Unlock influence and it's been such a great experience.We are a church full of very practical, down to earth people who tend to be quite private about what goes on inside them and not have huge amounts of confidence.Unlock hasenabled usto share our experiences of prayer and God in a much moreopenway.That, in turn has led to a new courage and willingness to pray for and with one another, which makes me a very humble, grateful, happy Vicar indeed.

Working with Theological Colleges

Unlock is now working in partnership with the Queen's Foundation, Birmingham and the Lindisfarne Regional Training Partnership, and is willing to explore the possibility of partnerships with other Theological Colleges and Ministry Training Programmes in the UK, especially in regions where we already have local projects established.

The 34th Unlock London Walk took place in fine weather on Saturday April 29th 2017. Over 700 people took part.

Walkers please note
The Unlock checkpoint had to be moved to St Mark’s instead of Battersea Central Methodist Mission, due to their building work not being completed in time.
The answer to quiz question 20 was also relocated to St Mark’s i.e. between questions 4 & 5.
