‘Built up’ in love When we having been saying ‘we’ through the pages of these daily reflections – who do we mean? It’s certainly not only those who live and worship in the churches of the Bro Celynnin Ministry Area, although many of ‘us’ do. We are connected across the miles by love, and aContinue reading “Daily Reflection 16th May”

God is love What a great title to be given by today’s reflection-writer, Ros Hughes, as she ends our week in the way we started – singing! Her reflection helps us to use the words of a famous hymn as today’s prayer. We have indeed seen lots of indications of God’s love working through HisContinue reading “Daily Reflection 15th May”

Doing ‘lockdown’ time From time to time, some of our writers have given us helpful insights by relating previous experience to our current shared situation. Today, we get to know more of Andrea (Andy) Butler’s work as a prison chaplain – where ‘doing time’ is well understood! Mae amser wedi ei bennu i bopeth, amser penodol i bopethContinue reading “Daily Reflection 14th May”

Greetings Today we begin with greetings from Marjorie Stott, a long-standing member of the choir at St. Mary’s Conwy. Like many of our more senior folk, she is not able to connect online, but we are indebted to others in our community who print these daily reflections regularly to make sure everyone is included. It fits well with theContinue reading “Daily Reflection 13th May”

Hidden Depths One of the recent themes for discussion in some of the church press and amongst Christians friends, has been ‘What do we think God might be saying to us through this crisis?’ Reverend David Parry has been drawn to the channels in the mudflats of Conwy’s low tide as a metaphor for theseContinue reading “Daily Reflection 12th May”

Keep on singing! This is the start of week 8 of lockdown – and we are blessed each morning by the contributions of different members of our community who have written, shared songs, prayers and ‘sung out’ the messages of God’s love and faithfulness far and wide through email, social media, website and print. Thank youContinue reading “Daily Reflection 11th May”

Please click here to make a donation. There’s an invitation, too, to seeContinue reading “Daily Reflection 10th May”

We are the church There has been much speculation this week about the likely content of the Prime Minister’s next national address. What will he say about the possible lifting of some of the restrictions on our daily lives? There has inevitably been debate too about when we might be able to get access toContinue reading “Daily Reflection 9th May”

Bank Holiday Friday Edition Today’s Bank Holiday in honour of the 75th Anniversary of VE Day is a bank holiday weekend like no other. Strangely, the reason for today’s designation may have a deeper resonance as we contemplate self-sacrifice, the struggle for peace and freedom, and victory over the grave. It is a day for honouring those whoContinue reading “Daily Reflection 8th May”

When bad things happen Our reflection today comes from David Jones (St. Benedict’s Gyffin). He wrote in “I have been wrestling with many thoughts over COVID-19 and what our reaction should be” – and we are so pleased he felt able to share them here! He sets himself a tall order: to ponder the questionsContinue reading “Daily Reflection 7th May”
