Minister’s Letter – November 2018
Remember – and move on
I wonder what you most remember from the past? There are the happy events such as great holidays, firm friendships and moments of transcendent joy such as our wedding day – we enjoy bringing these to mind as we reminisce or flick through old photo albums. Then there are the more mundane recollections such as our first day at school, or passing our driving test, or even the colour of our old front door. Read more “Minister’s Letter – November 2018”
24 Hours for Christian Aid – An Update
The weekend of events in support of Christian Aid proved a huge success. Churches in the north eastern corner of Cardiff gathered together for an unique programme of activities, worship opportunities and entertainment to coincide with Christian Aid’s Harvest Appeal. Well supported, with over 200 people visiting the venue, Christchurch, across the 24 hours, the total raised was £2,365 with further monies to be added to this figure. This amount will be banked by Christian Aid as part of its Harvest Appeal to which the EU government will match fund 5:1, taking the total raised to almost £12, 000. Huge thanks to all who supported, in any way, the event and all who worked tirelessly to organise and stage this weekend of fund raising. A full report is included in the November 2018 issue of Pulse.
Christmas Fair

Minister’s Letter – October 2018
Prayer (again)
They raised their voices together to God …When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:24/31
The early Christians in Jerusalem were in a tough place. For they were a small group of ordinary people, they were following a discredited leader who’d been killed by a brutal occupying power working in cahoots with the religious authorities, and their two main spokesmen had just been arrested for illegal preaching. So, when those men were released from custody, what did they do? It would have been natural for them to turn in on themselves and have a good moan about their woes.

Holiday Bible Club
Over 50 children attended the Holiday Bible Club, on the theme of Showstoppers, over five weekday
mornings at the end of August. It was a huge success, an amazing week and the children had a great experience. On the Saturday, a number went to the Beach Party at Barry Island and were lucky to have a sunny day. The week concluded with a special service on the Sunday morning, followed by a buffet lunch enjoyed by over 80 guests! A full report will appear in the October edition of Pulse and more photos will be added to the Gallery page on this website.
