As Christmas approaches, schools and churches across Wales are busy making costumes, practising songs, and helping children learn their lines for one of our most enduring traditions: the nativity play. Delyth Liddell visits a range of nativities across Wales, from a drop-in immersive nativity performed in the centre of Aberdare, to a damp but joyful roving nativity in Llanidloes, to primary school children performing their first plays in rural Talgarth and urban Cardiff. But behind the tea towels, tinsel, and excited children lies something deeper, a story that has shaped cultures, communities and childhoods for generations. We explore why the nativity still matters. Should plays be re-shaped and told for modern audiences or stick with the traditional versions? Why is this retelling of an ancient story so important? Much of the nativity we know so well isn't true to the Bible - does it matter? Delyth visits St. Philip Evans Roman Catholic Primary School in Cardiff, Ysgol y Mynydd Du in Talgarth, St. Elvans Church in Aberdare for a performance of 'Christmas a Story' and a roving nativity in Treveglois. She speaks to Professor Wyn Evans from the University of Cardiff and Naomi Johnson from 'Out of the Ark', a leading publisher of children's nativity plays.
Psalm 51 is not the cry of a casual seeker but the confession of a broken king. Written after Nathan the prophet confronted David over his sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12), this psalm is a masterpiece of repentance. Verse 10 forms the heartbeat of the entire passage. It is not merely a re

The doctrine of the church is not an afterthought. It is central to the revealed will of God. Christ declared in Matthew 16:18, "…I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Dwelling Under His Wings God provides healing, security, and restoration for all who take refuge under His wings. His love is unfailing, His faithfulness unchanging, and His protection unbreakable.

Finish the Race – The Task We've Received Part 2 Title: Finish the Race, Complete the Task Acts 20:22–24 Last week, we studied Paul's ministry in Ephesus—his manner, his message, and his humility. We learned what it means to serve the Lord with tears and truth, unshaken by trial. Today, we turn from Paul's past example to his present mission—from how he served to why he stayed unmoved.
The Remedy of Rebuke | 2 Thessalonians 3:14–16 "And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all."

Finish the Race – The Task We've Received Part 1 Title: None of These Things Move Me Acts 20:17–21 The Power of an Unmoved Life Open your Bible to Acts 20:17–21. Paul is standing on the shore of Miletus, about forty miles from Ephesus. He has summoned the elders of the Ephesian church—men he trained, prayed with, and wept beside. The Apostle knows he will see them no more. This is not casual conversation; this is a farewell charge. From the height of revival in Acts 19 to the road of suffering that lies ahead in Acts 21, Paul pauses to remind them—and us—what it means to stay unmoved in a shaking world. Bring a friend. Bring your Bible. Be ready.

John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Introduction: The Measure of True Love The words before us were spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ on the eve of His crucifixion. In the Upper Room, amidst the solemnity of betrayal and the shadow of the cross, our Lord taught His disciples about love, obedience, and sacrifice. The thirteenth verse of John fifteen stands as the pinnacle of that teaching—"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
The Call to Continue 2 Thessalonians 3:13: "But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing." Fatigue is one of the greatest enemies of faithfulness. In every generation, God's people have faced the temptation to give up, slow down, or compromise when the road grew long. The Thessalonians were under pressure—persecution from without, disorder from within, and discouragement pressing upon their hearts. Into that context Paul gives a short but powerful charge: "But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing." This is The Call to Continue.

It's been seven years of your favourite parkrun podcast! There was a frog chorus up at Vogrie parkrun, Conwy parkrun returns to a little controversy, there's photography woes, the sugar people didn't come out to play, Nicola did a THING with her 250th different event at Trentham Gardens parkrun in Stoke-on-Trent and Danny Jones wound the clock back 60-years at Aberdare parkrun in south Wales.
Lads lads lads! Nicola's off to Japan, so Running Is BS's Stewart Harding fills in. There's Map Men, a brief overview of a couple of weekend things, phallic things, Stewart dared to go to Aberdare parkrun and Danny just couldn't face touring for once.

Jonathan Thomas looks at the history and work of the Salvation Army in Wales as it celebrates 150 years since its first mission to Cardiff, followed later by missions to Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare and many other towns around Wales. Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Roberts is the Army's current leader in Wales, and he gives his account of some of the movement's early days, as well as outlining its work today. Captain Canon Kathryn Stowers is the Army's Ecumenical Officer for Wales, and she talks about the organisation's radical views on the empowerment of women - it was women who led the Army's early missions to Merthyr, for example. Professor Paul O'Leary of the University of Aberystwyth has studied street processions in Wales, and explains why evangelising on the streets was such a provocative initiative that challenged Victorian notions of respectability. Historically the Salvation Army's uniform has been a huge part of its identity, but as Jennifer Le Zotte explains, there is more to this than meets the eye: in reusing secondhand clothing there was something challenging about this uniform. Even more intriguing is the special uniform for the so-called 'Slum Sisters' who tended to the needs of the very poor. She describes this as 'cross-class drag'! For many of us the Salvation Army is synonymous with brass bands, and Jonathan visits the band of Canton Cardiff Corps to speak to their bandmaster, and to make his own practical contribution!

Day 4 of 12 missing person cases in December. In July of 2019, 33 year old Jordan Moray's family realised that they hadn't heard from him in a while which was unusual. They went to his home in Cwmbach, Aberdare in Wales and found the door unlocked. Inside a playstation was still plugged in and his phone was charging but Jordan was nowhere to be found. He is still a missing person and his family are desperate for answers.
