Sin is our best evangelist

“Summer Under the Arch” event.

For a decade, our little church has welcomed thousands of visitors to our Christmas Carol service under an old mining arch in the Welsh Valleys.

A cultural and historical icon, the perfect outdoor venue with wonderful acoustics, although absolutely freezing in December. This year we tried something warmer, “Summer Under the Arch”. 

Hundreds came to the event. Our local MP gave the Bible reading, and we sang hymns and Christian songs. There was a short gospel presentation and a time of prayer. People went home with Christian literature and information about our church.
