Easter at Christchurch

A warm welcome to all to our Easter services and events.

On Good Friday we will have a reflective Communion service at 10am.Holy Saturday sees the start of a new tradition – a sunset bonfire at the church grounds at 7.30pm, with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows. Some ashes from this fire will then be taken to Viney Hill for the young peoples’ campfire. Easter Sunday begins at 6.30am with our customary walk around Roath Park Lake – please meet on the road that crosses the top end of the lake. The Church Hall will be open from 10am for coffee, pastries and fellowship. We conclude with our All-Age Easter Celebration at 11am.

Minister’s Message – February 23, 2025

Bible reading: Luke 6:27-36 – the words of Jesus.

Message.
I wonder how much we listen to the radio? Perhaps we have music on as a background to our household chores, we might listen to comedy programmes as we journey in our cars, Moira likes putting on Radio Cymru when she’s cooking as it gives her more exposure to Welsh. Some of us may listen a lot, some of us may hardly listen at all; but we can all agree that, in today’s world of social media, television, streaming and the internet, radio is just one voice among many.

Minister’s Message – January 12, 2025

Bible reading: Matthew 2:13-23.

I wonder what picture the phrase “small boats” brings to your minds? Do you think of yachts and cabin cruisers bobbing up and down in a Mediterranean marina (or Penarth)? Do you visualise pedalos and rowing boats splashing across Roath Park lake? Does your mind turn to children launching their vessels across a shallow pond? Or – especially if you’re both British and older – do you think of the motley fleet of fishing boats and pleasure craft which sailed across the Channel in 1940 to pluck soldiers off the deadly beaches of Dunkirk?
