St Saviour's News - 21 March 2021

Next Sunday - Reserve your seat at St Saviour’s mass via Liz on 07718918846.              

Palm Sunday and Holy Week  - With ongoing restrictions we need to still be careful how we mind each other during the various services of Holy Week.  With that in mind, we hope to begin celebrate Palm Sunday in Church as much as we can.  As much as we can we will try and stay true to how we traditionally celebrate during this most holy week.  However, please bear with us as some things will be different and in accordance with our Covid risk assessment.  A full list of Holy Week can be found online or on a flyer at the back of the church.  Planning meeting next Sunday on zoom.            

South Cardiff Ministry Area - Steering Group meets on Wed 14 April.  MA Treasurer’s meet this coming Wednesday evening via Zoom.                                      

Covid Risks Update - Our risk assessment states people must adhere to social distancing and so go straight to their chair and at the end of the service leave orderly.  Once outside catch ups and some fellowship is possible.  Remember space, face and hands precautions.                        

Lent Course - With the growth of online worship and formation there are many Lent courses and retreats available for people to follow and pray.  There are a list of these available to choose from on our website.  We will follow our pattern from last year and explore an Easter Course or Book Group and hopefully restrictions will have been eased to allow us to do this in person by then.          

Easter Flowers - Order forms for those wishing to sponsor Easter Floral arrangements will be available from Gwyneth .  Anyone wishing to make a donation towards the flowers/plants for the Altar of Repose and Easter Garden please see Liz.                                

Lenten Charity - This year we are supporting our neighbours at the ‘Oasis Cafe’ as they work with refugees and asylum seekers.  We will continue to collect for this worthy cause during Lent.        

Stations of the Cross - Are now available to be played during the season of Lent.  Stations are available from St Saviour’s and also St German’s.                                   

Faith QI - Next meets after Easter at 7pm  on Wednesday 21 April via zoom.  Each evening we explore a different topic related to our faith and spirituality - sometimes prayer, sometimes philosophy, sometimes theology.  At the heart of it is a desire to understand and deepen our own faith.    The next topic will be ‘God and the Pandemic’.
