Parish News - 3 May 2020

Easter Course - This year we will follow the ‘Why on earth’ course created by the Church Army.  It builds on last year’s Faith Pictures course and runs over 6 weeks. The topics for each week begin with the question ‘why on earth’ and then: faith v science; bother with the church; are Christians so judgemental; do bad things happen to good people; would I believe the Christian message; bother with Jesus. Each session has a video to watch and guided questions for our discussion. We will host a zoom meeting on these questions each Wednesday at 7pm.  Ask Fr Phelim for details and an invitation.  Session 2: why on earth do we bother with the Church is this coming Wednesday 6 May at 7pm.              

Coronavirus Support - If you know of anyone who is need or can’t access food shopping or collecting medicines please let at least some of us know as we may be able to help.     

​Thank You for the Music - Many thanks to Brian Williams who both read for our online mass this week as well as providing some organ music to add more colour and variety to the service. If anyone else would like to add a reflection etc to future services just let Fr Phelim know.                                              

Lift Up Your Hearts -  Spiritual Support during the pandemic. We will make available for download also a weekly page prepared by the Church Times.  If you can’t access the internet please let us know and we will print out some copies that can be delivered posted to you.          

Online Services  - The liturgical life of our community continues with online services. The format of these are youtube videos taken in either our churches or in the vicarage.  Church based videos are allowed involving the priest/minister and one other person to film or say the responses. We also have scope for other use of video in our exploration of digital ministry in this time of social isolation.                                 Foodbank - Please continue to donate food locally.  For dropping off donated food Cardiff Foodbank Hub remains open in Splott  on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 09:30-13:30 plus many supermarkets.  Again see website for details.
