Richard Hodges continues our Sunday teaching series on Jesus' teaching about the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room!
There are a couple of opportunities each week to join with others for a time of prayer. Monday Evening at 7pm and / or Saturday morning at 10am both in the lounge. It would be great if you could join us.
Crafty Chatters
Do you enjoy craft? A few of us will be getting together to craft, have a chat and catch up over a cup of tea or coffee. We meet on the 1st Friday of every month from 7.30pm - 9pm. If you are interested in coming along or want to know more, have a chat with Sue Rock or Ruth Evans.
Crafty Chatters are making blankets or hats for premature babies at the moment, You can join them at their next get together on May 3rd or by making something at home over this coming month. If you can’t make anything but would like to help, you can donate some wool and one of the group will make it instead! Please let Ruth or Sue know if you would like more details or a pattern. Many thanks.
Coffee Mornings and Service
The coffee mornings take place on the
2nd Tuesday of each month. We also have a monthly daytime service with traditional hymns and a short reflection at
11 am on the fourth Tuesday of every month. The next daytime service is on the 23rd April
Members Meeting
The date of the next Church Members Meeting will be Wednesday April 24th at 7.30 pm. Please mark this meeting date in your calendar, and we sincerely hope you can join us. Your input is valuable to us, and together, we can contribute to the flourishing of God's purpose within our church community. The agenda for this meeting and minutes of the previous meeting have been sent out to members. There are some hard copies available for anyone with no email access.
Church Lunch Dates
It's great to be able to enjoy fellowship together (and food!) and we have one more church lunch this year
September 29th
Please put this date in your diary and we look forward to seeing you there. Everyone is welcome!
Book Club
The book club is taking a short break for the time being and is likely to resume in May. Watch this space!
Bins
As you may be aware, in the church porch , lounge and hall we now have three separate bins (one for general waste and the other two for specific recycling items) When you dispose of rubbish, if you could place it in the appropriate bin we would really appreciate it. We now have the same category of outside bins so it will be easier to transfer rubbish from the inside to outside bins if the correct items are put in the appropriate bin. Many thanks for your co-operation with this
The Greatest Show
This is taking place in the last week of April and first week of May-not long to go now!
A circus troop are travelling around from town to town performing their show, however every place they go to has been witness to something special just before they get there. Will the duo find a routine that will impress their audience? Who will perform “The Greatest Show?” Come along to our evening performance to find out. The public performance will be on Tuesday 7th May at 7pm . Everyone is welcome!

Helen Nolan's mum sadly passed away recently, We pass on our condolences to her and the family. They will be saying goodbye to Helen's mum (Pat) at 12:00 on Monday 22nd April at the Briwnant Chapel, Thornhill Crematorium. They would be glad of the support of Pat's friends and theirs.
