Next three Sundays

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

When lockdown was declared in March 2020, my wife Liz and I decided that we would walk regularly, not only for exercise, but also to pursue a personal project. Maps made of Wales in 1888 are now available online. We wanted to explore all the footpaths around where we live in Conwy and compare them with those which were recorded 132 years ago.Continue reading “Finding the way”

Weekend Service

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”

We are also delighted that our Church HallContinue reading “Weekend Service”

Reflection – 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 ffyddlondeb rhyfeddol,ti, sy’n gwaredu â’th ddeheulawyContinue reading “Reflection – Lie low to the wall”
