It was another fantastic Greenbelt festival this year - and lovely to see so many old and new friends there.

SCM folk were kept busy with worship, cooking meals in the SCM kitchen tent, running a stall in the G-source, meeting lots of people at the student sessions in Galilee, sharing a delicious picnic at the Tiny Tea Tent and much more. A few photos from the weekend are below.

If you took any photos or have reflections to share from the festival please email scm@movement.org.uk and we'll post them here.
