We had an incredible time at the Hand in Hand 2025 Conference on 7-9th of February, where we had the privilege of promoting Group Publishing’s VBS resources. The response was fantastic, with many children’s ministry leaders showing keen interest in bringing these engaging, hands-on Bible learning experiences to their churches.

Over the weekend, we met hundreds of like-minded leaders from across the UK and beyond, all dedicated to enhancing their ministries and ensuring that every child has the best possible experience in church. The atmosphere was uplifting, with powerful worship and praise sessions, inspiring workshops, and plenty of friendly faces.


We also had the opportunity to connect with fellow exhibitors, sharing insights and discovering new ways to support children’s ministry. A special congratulations to Francis, who travelled the furthest to attend and won our UCY gift giveaway at the conference!

As we reflect on this wonderful event, we’re already looking ahead to next year. We encourage every children’s ministry leader, regardless of denomination, to mark their calendars for Hand in Hand 2026, taking place from 6th–8th February. It’s an event not to be missed—see you there!
