Over 450 Reformed Presbyterians from across five continents gathered in the heart of Mid Wales from 13 to 20 July for the quadrennial Covenanter Holiday Conference, centring on the theme, ‘Christ and his unstoppable church’.

Blessed with glorious weather, attendees ranging in age from nine weeks to 90 years converged on the Cefn Lea Christian Conference Centre and Holiday Park. Organised by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland, this year’s event marked the conference’s debut at the Cefn Lea venue.

The keynote speaker for the week was South Wales native Revd Paul Levy, minister of an IPC fellowship in Ealing. Revd Levy delivered a series of practical, challenging, and encouraging messages from Acts, urging participants to see themselves as active members of Christ’s unstoppable church.
