​New Ministry - Bishop June has appointed the Rev’d Christopher Lee (NSM) to St Saviour’s on an interim basis to work alongside other Ministry Area clergy colleagues in the months ahead.  Fr Chris will be licensed during a service of Evening Prayer by Bishop June on the feast of Sts Peter and Paul, this coming Tuesday 29 June, at 8pm.  Please book your place the usual way. We hope to record the service and post it later on on YouTube.                              
Christian Aid - Many thanks to all who supported our Zoom Bingo. We’ve raised a fantastic £160. If you would like to make a donation, please speak to David French today.                 
Pray for Natasha Quinn-Thomas, our former ordinand, who will be ordained to the diaconate next Saturday 3 July. Natasha has used the gift from St Saviour’s to order a Marion Chasuble for use in her future ministry and to remind her time with us.                           
The Rev’d Geraint John - Prayer cards for Geraint’s ordination on Wednesday 30 June are available on the table at the back of church. We are delighted to welcome Geraint back to preach and preside at a concelebrated mass on Sunday 11 July.

PCC - After the Prize Draw on Sunday 4 July the PCC will meet to formally agree the merger to form the South Cardiff Ministry Area.                                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.                          
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.            
Singing -  We have considered the risks and updated our risk assessment according to CinW and Welsh Gov. guidelines and so it is now possible for some singing to take place in our worship.  Two key precautions: face masks/visors to be worn whilst singing and an ongoing commitment to maintaining strict social distancing throughout the service.  Hymn texts on newsletter from next Sunday.
