URC WALES CY

This month, Jo Harris reflects on an unexpected but joy-filled revelation — finding God’s love and fellowship not in a church tent, but in the music and community of Leeds Festival.

Jo writes about discovering holiness in connection, joy, and shared humanity — in a crowd of music lovers dancing together to Chappell Roan, a q***r feminist pop artist whose music radiates empowerment and self-expression.

Through it all, Jo reminds us that Jesus’ radical message was one of inclusion and love — for everyone. A love that breaks barriers, resists injustice, and celebrates authenticity. 💗

Are you aged 18+? Do you enjoy supporting 12-17-year-olds? Have experience, gifts, skills to share?
Then volunteer on the URC run Youth space at Greenbelt this year. We are looking for folk who have experience working with young people. The space gives young people a space away from adults during the festival and offers some programmed items just for them. Volunteers are asked to come alongside the young people, chatting to them and sharing some fun playing uno, chess or many other activities we have to offer them, as well as ensure that it is kept a safe space for them to enjoy.
If you can help us, then please sign up. The Invite Code for the group is 25Youth and the direct link is: SheepApp https://app.sheepcrm.com/greenbelt/teams/summary/greenbelt-group-67502890daa08343715f8970/
