St Saviour's News - 7 March 2021

Next Sunday - Reserve your seat at St Saviour’s mass via Liz on 07718918846.              
Benediction and Lent Reflections - Tonight at 6pm in St Saviour’s.  All are welcome.          
Covid Precautions - Many thanks for all those who are heeding our covid precautions.  As a reminder, once we enter church we go to our places and stay there until the end of the service.  At the end of the service we leave quietly through the middle doors.  It is only outside where conversations/fellowship is allowable.  Recently, many individuals are gathering and catching up before the service starts which is against our risk assessment and if it continues may place our opening for worship at risk.  Please help us stay open for the rest of Lent and Holy Week by abiding by our precautions and keeping socially distant from each other.  Many thanks again for your forbearance, Fr Phelim.              
South Cardiff Ministry Area - Brief update on this after mass today by Fr Phelim.              
Easter Flowers - Order forms for those wishing to sponsor Easter Floral arrangements will be available from Gwyneth  today.  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.  So far over £330 has been raised by all those who attended and supported our two fundraiser Bingo events on zoom.  We will continue to collect for this worthy cause during Lent. Thanks to Louise and Ross for leading the bingo.                     
Mothering Sunday - Next week flowers for Mothering Sunday will be placed under your seats in advance of the service. They will be blessed before the final hymn.              
 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.                                          
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 churches.                         
Faith QI - Next meets on St Patrick’s day 17 March at 7pm via zoom.  At the heart of it is a desire to understand and deepen our own faith more.  Email Fr Phelim for details.
