Best of the Fests - thousands join together for summer worship
Summertime means one thing in the Christian calendar – tents, wellies and tens of thousands of Christians gathered together in worship.
Whether it's for New Wine, New Day, Soul Survivor, Momentum or Greenbelt, Christians all over the country – and even further afield – are braving the British weather, and we've pulled together some of the best tweets, pictures and videos from the summer festivals so far:

I never thought I'd live to see the day. Tonight the Archbishop of Canterbury led a ministry time at Soul Survivor A. Perfect.

Hundreds of responses to gospel calls day after day (321 first time responses). In one meeting scores of people literally ran to the front.

A word from C.S. Lewis as you head home from #nd14: 'There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.' Amen! (HT @helen_a13)
