Stop Press … This coming Sunday, your daily reflection will land in your inbox at 8am as usual, but for the first time we have expanded it to a short recorded video service. Then you are invited to share coffee together at 11.30am. It will be lovely to see one another – even if it is ‘virtually’!…

Counting our blessings Thank you for being part of this ‘daily reflection’ community, which has been a blessing in itself through our weeks of restricted living. Judy Williams (from St. Mary’s Caerhun) helps us to count our blessings today, especially resonant with those of us who are fortunate enough to live in such a beautiful…

People who inspire We learned yesterday of a vicar Reverend Peter Holmes (from near Kingston-upon-Thames) who has died of COVID-19, just months before his retirement, after years dedicated to those most vulnerable in our society, especially homeless people. It is unlikely that anyone reading this daily reflection knows him and his family personally, yet we are struck…

Tuesday’s greetings Thank you for messages that continue to encourage us! Although we are based in Conwy, there are many different lives reflected here each day, people living in diverse settings and circumstances, with different life experiences yet united in this on-line community of faith. Today, at 11am there will be a national minute’s silence in…

Messages from high on the hills and from across the world Today we hear again from Clive Addison from his smallholding in the hills above Conwy, where the lambing season continues! The picture at the start of his reflection is taken from there, of a spectacular sunrise. But first, we have our daily share of greetings –…

Greetings And so we come to the end of another week of ‘lockdown’. We continue to pray for all those who are most profoundly affected by COVID-19, and the impacts of such a ‘shutting down’ of normal life. We continue to greet one another with Easter hope of resurrection – and this morning we hear from one…

Still with you! Today’s reflection below from Ros and Berw Hughes makes an important connection between the isolation that many of the most vulnerable in society experience every day, with our restricted lives under ‘lockdown’. The recurring phrase they use, that comes from a very moving story applies to our daily greeting too, through this season of…

Greetings, thoughts and prayers Reverend Susan Blagden, a member of our ministry team, names today an anxiety that is dominating the news and many of our thoughts and prayers: safety. Whether that is prayers for ourselves and others in many different circumstances, for all that is necessary to provide protective equipment for front-line workers, or the…
