Monthly Celebration of Communion: There will be a short and simple celebration of Holy Communion after the service today. This service is open to all and those wishing to attend are invited to proceed to the front pews of the church after the main service is concluded.
Church Fundraising Challenge: This challenge involves starting with a £10 or £20 ‘start up’ that the church will provide. The expectation is that through your own creative means and talent, you will generate a profit for church funds. You will of course be expected to repay the original amount plus any profit you make. This fundraising project will last from May until September, allowing all who participate plenty of time to knit, sew, bake or grow, or come up with your own ideas. If you are willing to take on the challenge, sign-up sheets are available in the entrance area and during coffee.
Bible Blethers: Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, 7th May at 10am in the Morriston Room. Thereafter, we meet on 21st May, 4th June and 18th June. We shall stop over the summer and resume in September. Anyone wishing to join us will be made most welcome.
The ‘Churches Group’ Men’s breakfast: Second Saturday of each month, is at Wetherspoons on Saturday 10th May at 8.30-8:45. No booking, just turn up, put your order in, pay for your own and enjoy.
Date For Your Diary: It is nearly time for CHRISTIAN AID week and this year the appeal is more necessary than ever with so much misery in the world. We are holding an Afternoon Tea on Saturday 10th May and hope you can come along and give your support. Tickets are available from Sunday 27th April. This is a chance to meet up with friends and do some good.
Heavenly Elevenses: Would those who attend the Tuesday Service please note that “Heavenly Elevenses” will take place on Tuesday 13th May from 11.15am.
Close Knit 850 project: Lorna Morrison asks that knitters stop knitting squares at present as there has been an overwhelming response and we now need to construct the blankets. We will continue sewing the squares into blankets on Thursday 15 May from 1:30 – 4pm. Come along for even a short while to sew/crochet/have a natter and a cup of tea with home baking!
