St Saviour's News - 14 Jan 2018

Christian Unity -  the week of prayer for Christian Unity begins this week  (from 18-25 January 2018).  Our focus at this time is praying together the prayer of Christ: ‘May they all be one’.  In praying for an increase in unity we also acknowledge the reality of divided Christianity which is our inspiration to work together towards mutual appreciation and healing after decades and centuries of division.  To help us do this locally,  there is a  Churches Together joint service in St Alban’s Church next Sunday 21 January 2018 at 6pm. 

Cardiff Churches Nightshelter Many thanks to all who continue to support our Nightshelter.  Please keep our guests and helpers in your prayers over these winter weeks and months.  If you were able to help us (especially for the night session )we’d be more than grateful.
