Ministry Area - The Parochial Church Council agreed at our last meeting to give consent to the signing of the decree which allows St Saviour’s to join with the other parishes of South Cardiff in forming a new ministry area.  We also agreed that our ministry area transition team representatives will be: Liz Norman, Wendy Gibbins, David Gibbins and Janet Fotheringham.      Also, in preparation for joining the new MA a decree has been passed by Bishop June and the diocese formally separating St German’s and St Saviour’s who will now be known by their previous parish titles.                              
Leaving Picnic - Fr Phelim’s last Sunday with us will be on 25 July when we plan on meeting in the church garden between 2-4pm to say our farewells.  Please let us know if you hope to attend this.                                       
Covid Risks Update - Please continue to adhere to social distancing and so go straight to your chair and at the end of the service leave in orderly and socially distanced manner.     
Sanctuary Lamps available - If you would like to sponsor a lamp, please write your dedication on the list at the back of church and place your £4 donation in the candle box.    
Singing -  The CinW guidelines only permit singing in our churches if the local 7 day Covid case rate is below 50 per 100,000. Currently, it is 158 and so congregational singing is suspended this week.  This will change week by week.
