Singer/songwriters Yvonne Lyon, Gareth Davies-Jones and David Lyon return to Keswick with songs from their brand new collaborative album, Trace The Line.
Written in response to the Sermon on the Mount, this new project follows on from their 2016 release, The Space Between.
The trio, all respected artists and multi-instrumentalists in their own right, have created a beautifully engaging album, rich in melody, harmony and poetic nuance. Featuring a variety of musical influences, they weave an exceptional sonic tapestry with great skill and originality.
No ticket purchase or reservation needed.
This event is for family members of missionaries to provide an opportunity to chat and connect with others who have loved ones serving God around the world.
Sign up at reception.
For the fisherman who sail on her, the sea of Galilee provides plenty of fish and plenty of stories. Local fishermen Simon, Andrew, James & John have got a tale to beat them all, it involves a fishing competition, wherein a strange man appears and blow everyone’s efforts out of the water. With a host of hearty songs and interactive story-telling, Fisherman’s Tail is a show not to be missed.
Fisherman’s Tail is an adapted version of the original actor-musician musical with the music played live on stage. This toured very successfully throughout 2017-2018 and received glowing reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018 and 2019.
No ticket purchase or reservation needed.
Have fun, be challenged by God’s Word and changed to live for Him more. If you’re aged between 3 and 11, then the Keswick4Kids programme is for you!
Speaking about God, reading the Bible and looking at how to live as a Christian will be central to this week.
Our priority is to learn about God through his Word in the Bible. Through teaching and activities, God’s Word will be taught, and its relevance will be explained.
This week we will be diving into the book of Ephesians. Here we are going to see God’s great big cosmic plan for the World, we are going to see the blessings of following Jesus and how big God’s grace really is!

Bible Readings will be given by Jeremy McQuoid.
Jeremy McQuoid is the current chair of the board of trustees at Keswick Ministries. He is Teaching Pastor at Deeside Christian Fellowship, in Aberdeen.
He will be speaking on Ephesians.
During the Convention, sessions will be livestreamed on the Keswick Ministries YouTube channel. They will then be available afterwards for catch up.
Do you know how blessed you are? We can’t limit those blessings to life here and now. Our blessings are in ‘heavenly realms’, and if we grasp what they are, it can transform how we face each day. Paul enumerates our blessings in this passage, which take in all the members of the trinity, and impact both time and eternity!
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Are you growing as a Christian? How do you know? How can we measure our growth in Christ, and what exactly do we need to be growing in? We can tell from what Paul gives thanks for in his magnificent prayer, exactly the kind of things we need to be growing in as believers, and what we ought to be thankful for when we find them in each other.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
This passage is key to the overall message of Ephesians. God has called people out of darkness, from various backgrounds and cultures, to be his church. So how should we behave as the church together, and what are we called to do? How can we grow as churches and fulfil the plans that God has for us from eternity?
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Why should we be committed to the Gospel? Why does Paul call the Gospel a ‘mystery’? What are we to do with this mystery? How can we share the Gospel effectively, and live it out against the backdrop of cosmic warfare? Ephesians 3 shows us how to be ‘Gospel driven’, and what’s at stake as we live for Christ every day.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Paul’s beautiful prayer for the church forms a kind of doxology to end the first half of Ephesians. What can we learn from Paul’s prayer about how to develop a deeper relationship with God? How should we approach God? How can we love better, and experience Christ’s love for us? How should we respond when God, in his limitless power, doesn’t answer our prayers?
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
There are a number of seminar streams running throughout the week:
Please do look at the programme below for more details.
The Gratitude Initiative and the Grace of Gratitude seminars will be live streamed on the Keswick Ministries YouTube channel.
The other seminars will be available for catch up on the Keswick Ministries YouTube channel too.
Thanking God it’s Monday? Grateful for your work – paid or unpaid? But does it matter to God? And if so why? Come explore the liberating truths of how your particular everyday work as tinker/tailor, banker/retailer, lawyer/ labourer, bedmaker or codemaker is valuable in itself and fits into God’s big mission in his world.
These seminars will trace the storyline of the Bible, with a focus on all we have to be grateful for. My prayer is that in doing so we will:
– grow in knowledge who God is and who we are in relation to him
– understand any part of the Bible by relating it to this overarching storyline
– see how every part of scripture points to Jesus, and have our hearts lifted to adore him.
In an age when all sorts of questions and are flying around about how we understand our identities or what it means to live in a “celebrity culture”, this seminar will look at what the Bible says about “being in Christ” and how that shapes one’s Christian identity and offers us hope for how to navigate uncertain times.
This seminar will discuss the role of Gratitude in our relationship with God, fellow believers and humanity as a whole. As such, we will be looking at:
– How we define Gratitude and its biblical foundations,
– why Gratitude should be our posture in life and its implications,
– why we believe Gratitude is central to our mission and discipleship,
– and the place of gratitude in our interaction with the wider culture.
It is my prayer, that as a result of our discussion we may come to appreciate how the posture of gratitude will help us grow into the likeness of Christ.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Fruitfulness for Christ in our everyday work – home and away – involves much, much more than hoping for evangelistic opportunities. Come explore a liberating framework for everyday fruitfulness that will help you see not only how you have already been fruitful for Christ but how He might work through you day by day for His glory.
These seminars will trace the storyline of the Bible, with a focus on all we have to be grateful for. My prayer is that in doing so we will:
– grow in knowledge who God is and who we are in relation to him
– understand any part of the Bible by relating it to this overarching storyline
– see how every part of scripture points to Jesus, and have our hearts lifted to adore him.
We live in a society that is somewhat obsessed with being safe. This seminar will look at what the Bible has to say about God’s protection over us and about the ways in which the gospel demands that we learn to fear God alone, not other things or other people.
‘Praise the Lord, my soul, all my inmost being, praise his holy name… forget not all his benefits.’ Being grateful doesn’t come naturally and yet it is one mark of faithful discipleship. What is gratitude and why is it important? Why do we find it so difficult? How can we be grateful in the ups and downs of life? In this seminar we will explore how the Bible answers these questions.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Finding prayer difficult? Too busy to pray? Not sure what to say or how to enjoy praying? This seminar will revisit Jesus teaching on prayer in his famous, ‘Lord’s prayer’, to rediscover the joy and privilege of praying to our Father in heaven!’
These seminars will trace the storyline of the Bible, with a focus on all we have to be grateful for. My prayer is that in doing so we will:
– grow in knowledge who God is and who we are in relation to him
– understand any part of the Bible by relating it to this overarching storyline
– see how every part of scripture points to Jesus, and have our hearts lifted to adore him.
Sometimes Jesus makes great demands of his followers and puts them in uncomfortable situations that help them grow in their life of discipleship. This seminar will look at a few New Testament narratives that shed a light on why it matters that we learn to live together as God’s holy people and the ways our lives can lead others to Jesus.
Challenging financial circumstances can suffocate our gratitude and make us resentful. Economic prosperity can choke our hearts and make us resentful rather than grateful. How do we avoid both dangers? Paul tells us that he had ‘learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want’. What was his secret. How can we share it?
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Not sure if Bible-teaching really works anymore? Looking to make your Word ministry more effective? Feeling discouraged about the Bible ministries of your church? This seminar will explore the great revival of Nehemiah 8 to learn how Bible-teaching ministries can be most effective and to regain our confidence in the transforming power of God’s Word!’
These seminars will trace the storyline of the Bible, with a focus on all we have to be grateful for. My prayer is that in doing so we will:
– grow in knowledge who God is and who we are in relation to him
– understand any part of the Bible by relating it to this overarching storyline
– see how every part of scripture points to Jesus, and have our hearts lifted to adore him.
Sharing his story of how he went from despising Jesus to loving him, Joseph Steinberg, a Jewish believer in Jesus, will use his testimony to teach us how to understand Jewish people and be able to sensitively share the good news of Jesus with them. The principles of personal faith sharing Joseph will teach can also be used with people of other faiths or no faith. Come and be inspired!
Suffering is folded into the fabric of our lives. The only condition for suffering is to live long enough. How do we continue to be grateful when life falls apart? We need to develop a robust theology of gratitude and to recognize that nothing is wasted. We can be grateful that God uses pain to deepen our relationship with Him transform our lives and alert us to eternal realities.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Paul wrote to the Ephesians: “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you.”
Prayer is integral to our relationship with the Lord. It is at the heart of the Convention and we want it to be part of Keswick Convention.
How to get involved:
From Monday to Friday there will be morning prayer meetings, in person in Base Camp (Packing Hall 1)
There will also be an accompanying prayer diary. Let us pray together!
If you have a particular prayer request, we have a prayer team that will pray for requests confidentially. Email: prayer@keswickministries.org
We are not able to reply to you, but rest assured we are praying for your request.

The Psalms are not just our words to God, but God’s words to us, given back to his people as instruction, shaping us to respond to him as we ought with our minds and hearts and lives. This series selects Psalms relating to the theme of Grateful. Who God is, what God has done and does, all give grounds for praise and celebration and gratitude – in the real world.
Join us for Evening Celebrations as we sing God’s praise and hear his word.
Speakers are: Tim Chester, Matt Searles, Paul Mallard, Rosalee Velloso Ewell and Richard Coekin.
During the Convention, sessions will be livestreamed on the Keswick Ministries YouTube channel. They will then be available afterwards for catch up.
On the first night of week 2, Psalm 95 sets the tone for the rest of the week. This Psalm calls us to come and engage with the LORD which is quickly followed by a solemn warning not to be hard-hearted in response to God’s voice. Will we be open to Him?
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
This beautiful Psalm shows us that true happiness is only found by living close with the Lord. By confessing our sins we are surrounded in God’s unfailing love and forgiveness.
Please note: This meeting will be recorded by the BBC and will begin at 7.15pm.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Psalm 56 takes us back to a dangerous part of David’s life (see 1 Samuel 21). While David was not immediately delivered from his situation, he does learn to lean on God’s goodness in his everyday trials.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
If yesterday’s psalm brought us close into David’s suffering, then today’s psalm gives a wide-angle view of creation as the theatre of God’s praise and our thankfulness to him.
This session will also available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
This evening of the convention will focus on global mission which includes, of course, our local mission too. And this Psalm, perhaps more than any other, resonates with the promises made to Abraham. Blessing begins at home but does not end there.
Mission night
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
We live in an uncertain world, where we can’t trust our rulers to save us, where life ends in death. But this is also where a ‘blessed’ life can be lived, if it is grounded on the secure actions of God, who creates all things and ‘keeps faith forever’.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
Psalm 145 calls for a cross-generational grateful declaring of God’s mighty acts. God is to be blessed, at the opening and the close of the psalm, and there is much here to send saints young and old home with rejoicing and confidently ‘looking to’ God and ‘calling on him’.
This session will also be available for catch-up via the live streaming link below.
