About The Event
The Year of Mission runs from Advent Sunday 2025 and follows on from previous themes - Prayer, Discipleship, Pilgrimage, Salt & Light and Children Youth and Families.
It will be built around a major set-piece event - Open to God - to take place at the Carmarthenshire Showground on May 23rd., the Saturday of Pentecost 2026. The Sunday will then be an opportunity for churches to celebrate in their own localities.
At the heart of it all lies Code FP: Celebration, Outreach, Discipleship, Evangelism, Fellowship, Prayer
These themes will run through the whole enterprise, both at the Pentecost showpiece and in activities and events held within each LMA between now and the end of 2027.
Open to God has been inspired by Bishop Dorrien and mirrors an event held forty years ago by his predecessor and mentor, Bishop George Noakes.
