Firebreak implications Reverend David Parry writes: The ‘Firebreak’ temporary lockdown in Wales starts today at 6pm. For so many people it is disheartening to re-enter a time of such significant restrictions. We pray that this sacrifice will succeed in slowing the spread of COVID-19, protecting those most at risk and therefore saving many lives. ChurchContinue reading “Next three Sundays”

Finding the way A timely and wise reflection from Paul Clough. Fel hyn y dywed yr ARGLWYDD:“Safwch ar y ffyrdd; edrychwch, ac ymofyn am yr hen lwybrau. Ple bynnag y cewch ffordd dda, rhodiwch ynddi, ac fe gewch le i orffwys.”    Jeremeia 6: 16   “Cyfod iti arwyddion, gosod iti fynegbyst,astudia’r ffordd yn fanwl,Continue reading “Weekly Reflection”

Sponsor David 21 again! Next Saturday our vicar will be running 21 km (just over 13 miles), a half-marathon. Events aren’t allowed so it is just David on his own against the clock – and seagulls – along the Conwy Coast.  Our income has dropped drastically since the pandemic, but more people than ever are beingContinue reading “Weekend Service”

Feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and denyContinue reading “Weekly Reflection”

Welcome to worship! This week’s online Service is brought to you by Reverend Tom Saunders, Reverend David Parry, Ros Mitchell and Mark Holliland. Our focus today is a passage from St. Paul’s letter to the people of Philippi: Philippians 4:1-9 which helps us think about ‘contact’ in such ‘contactless’ times as this! Communion Services will also take place this weekContinue reading “Weekend Service”

Harvest at a time such as this This week’s reflection is by Andrea (Andy) Butler from St. Mary’s Conwy, and leads on from our weekend online worship video. Just how are we to reflect on harvest this year? Yna dwedodd, “Gwyliwch eich hunain! Mae’r awydd i gael mwy a mwy o bethau yn beryglus. Dim faintContinue reading “Weekly Reflection”

Croeso – Welcome to worship Many thanks to everyone who has been praying for Conwy County since a local lockdown began here. The good news is that our Services in Church buildings can continue, because of robust safety measures we already have in place (including mask wearing and social distancing). We are also delighted that our Church HallContinue reading “Weekend Service”

Lie low to the wall Many parents of new university students are currently very tempted to jump in the car and fetch them home. God has a similar desire when we are in need of protection. In this week’s reflection, Reverend David Parry reminds us that sometimes we just need to accept that care. Dangos dy ffyddlondebContinue reading “Weekly Reflection”
