St Saviour's News - 18 July 2021

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.  The MA transition team next meets on Monday 26 July and will look at the next steps in forming our new MA.                 
Weekday Masses - No weekday masses in St Saviour’s this week.  Midweek Services will resume next week hopefully.                                      
​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 - With the Welsh government now allowing more people to meet indoors and outdoors we will be updating our own risk assessment accordingly.  The CinW has also now permitted churches to offer tea and coffee after our services.  We hope to begin this in August.  Please keep to social distancing whilst in church and wear a face covering. 
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.
