Together 2024: Gyda'n Gilydd – Us Together

Major Jo Moir introduces the theme of Together 2024.

Plans are shaping up for the annual territorial gathering, which this year takes place at the International Convention Centre Wales in Newport on 13 and 14 July. The creative team is working closely with the Wales Division to make this year’s event an opportunity for everyone connected to The Salvation Army to engage, worship and celebrate – together.

Join with us in prayer – in whichever language is your own – that God will continue to inspire all those planning Together 2024 and prepare the hearts and minds of all those who will attend and connect from home.

Engage

Together 2024 will build on the success of marketplace and community festivals in previous years: there will be something for everyone, including exciting spaces for children and youth, outdoor activities and live worship as well as creative spaces for conversations, collaboration, prayer and learning.

Worship

Alongside the International Staff Band and International Staff Songsters, local musicians, dancers and those who love to worship in other creative ways will lead us in worship over the weekend. New music has been commissioned for the event and there will be opportunities not only to enjoy worship but be part of it too. As ever, prayer will hold a key focus across the weekend: a prayer team is being formed that will be available around the venue.

Celebrate

We have much to celebrate this year. The commissioning of the Defenders of Justice session will take place on the Sunday morning and we will gather with the cadets’ family and friends for this significant and inspiring moment. And throughout the weekend we will focus on the 150th anniversary of The Salvation Army in Wales, using the theme of God’s Story, Our Story, Your Story across the gatherings, reflections and worship.
