Thirsty For God (Psalm 63)

The Mission Exhibition will once again be held on campus in Medrus, on the first floor of Penbryn. It offers a valuable opportunity to explore a wide range of organisations and societies, each sharing resources, opportunities, and accounts of how God is at work across the world. Do take time to browse the displays and speak with those involved—they will be glad to tell you more about their ministries.

This year, a café will also be running within the exhibition, hosted by Dave and Ange Gee from Bala Evangelical Church, where you can enjoy tea or coffee during your visit.

Mission Unstoppable: Where We Are Going (Revelation 7:9-17)

Our children’s clubs are a much-loved part of the week. Whether your child is coming for the first time or is already familiar with Aber, they will have the chance to build friendships and explore the Bible through engaging, age-appropriate activities.

Tiny Tots (6month - 4 years) - Lower Dance Studio

Mini Marvels (4-7) - Students’ Union

Holiday Heroes (7-11) - Students’ Union

JAber (11-15) - Students’ Union

To attend, each child will need an event pass and a completed consent form, which should be submitted in advance at www.emw.org.uk/parents. Please ensure that children are collected promptly after the morning meeting each day.

Start your day with us in the International Politics Building for breakfast, devotions, and prayer as we consider how we are called to live alongside one another — be encouraged and challenged to live like Christ in His church.

How do we seek to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ? In what ways can we show vulnerability in order to be helped? How does God's word call us to do so?

In a time of isolation, Jesus models attentive servitude in church family. Guided by Ed Welch's Side by Side, we'll explore this together through daily discussions:

Friday: Helping Fellow Sinners

Join us for prayer meetings throughout the week

Join us for prayer meetings throughout the week

Join us for prayer meetings throughout the week

Come and relax with others!

In the evenings we'll be exploring our week's theme of 'Authenticity'. We'll discuss in groups our understanding of how God has shaped all of us and how that should affect our perspective. Jesus calls us to examine ourselves and how we respond to the world around us, so where do we start?

Thursday – Authentic: Who can we trust?**
Lastly, we'll finish our week together by looking at the year ahead. We'll consider how we can apply what we've learnt to our private devotional lives, social interactions, and church commitments. This will also be a great opportunity to consider where we stand with Christ. Whether you're hoping to strengthen your faith, find firm ground in a struggle with assurance, or come to Christ for the first time: the answers are in the only One we can trust.

Thursday – A word in season to loved ones who are not yet saved

Speaker: J P Earnest

J P will share insights from years of evangelism, helping us think about fresh and thoughtful ways to speak the gospel to family and friends who have not yet come to faith.

In conversation with Andrew Norbury Andrew is preaching in the Great Hall this evening. Come and spend more time with him tonight as he shares with us.

A relaxed space to unwind, reflect on what you’ve heard, and enjoy fellowship together.

Thursday – Soul

We are delighted to welcome the acclaimed artist Ben Midgley. He will introduce us to a few of his favourite pieces of art, tell us why they matter to him, and show us how art can nourish your soul.

Preaching on the Edge of Eternity (Mark 9:42-50)

Relational Bible Reading

Huw Williams will lead a session on how to read the Scriptures as a heart-focused relationship with Christ, rather than simply a mind-focused exercise in data transfer.

Workshop: Evangelism - Why and How?

What motivates us to share the gospel—and how can we do it well? In this session, Rico Tice explores the heart behind evangelism and offers practical help for communicating the message of Jesus with clarity and confidence. Aimed at equipping believers not only to speak about their faith but also to encourage others to do the same, this session will be both thought-provoking and accessible for all. It will take place on Thursday at 2:00 pm in the Great Hall.

- Wednesday – Authentic: Who is listening?
This year's most talked-about companions are those created by us. But who are Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok? And how should their existence affect us as Christians? We'll be discussing theological takes on artificial intelligence — whether it is beneficial, or whether we should use it at all.

Wednesday – Pastoral care in today’s society (Interview with Phil Swann)

Through an interview format, we will explore the realities of pastoral care today and how church members can support their leaders. We will also reflect on how to offer spiritual help—including “a word in season”—to those facing the end of life.

Vicky's Story: Meeting God in the Bible We'll be hearing Vicky's testimony—her story of how Jesus saved her and transformed her life is truly from darkness to light.
