<\/a>Christian Aid Appeal 10th-16th May: <\/strong>This year the appeal was centred around the situation in Nairobi. We were introduced to Fridah, a hard-working mother and grandmother, deeply committed to her family and her faith. Intense urban poverty in Nairobi is challenging her ability to provide for her family. But, with her unstoppable resolve plus skills training from CA\u2019s partner Beacon of Hope, Fridah is growing vegetables in space saving vertical containers. Now, she can put healthy food on the table and sell her excess produce to cover school costs for her children and grandson.<\/p>\nOur team of volunteers to aid the appeal, led by Jude Billingham, ensured that every household in the village had the opportunity to support the fund raising. This will be put together with the amount raised at the Agape Supper earlier in the year, the Gwenfo School\u2019s fundraising and the Cake, Cake<\/p>\n
and more Cake coffee morning in the church hall on the 16th of May. Collating all these different streams of fundraising including the contribution from St. John\u2019s in Sully can be quite a task and Jude is to be thanked for the encouragement she is able to pass on to all who expressed their wish to be involved. The total amount including Gift Aid will not be known for several weeks, but we hope that the community of Wenvoe and Sully will have been as generous as the results from last year\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n
The Chattery <\/strong>continues to meet in the church hall on the second Thursday morning of the month at 10.30. The drawing of the FREE raffle is always a time of great hilarity. The wide variety of prizes are all donated, often very varied and the winners take their time in choosing their unexpected good luck. All this for the modest sum of \u00a32.00 \u2026. a real bargain for an opportunity to meet up with old friends and catch up with all their family news. The money raised is allocated to the Church Building Fund. There have been many comments recently about the fresh appearance and pleasant atmosphere following the refurbishment of the church hall last year.<\/p>\nThe Food Bank<\/strong>: Due to the high cost of fuel to transport the items to the warehouse in Barry, the deliveries are now made twice monthly. The contributions we receive are most welcome and the donations are so generous and needed by families not as fortunate as we are. Last month 304 vouchers were fulfilled, there was an increase of 15% of those seeking help; 406 adults were fed, 206 children were fed; and 70 new recipients were helped. The most requested items this month include Tuna, peanut butter, jam, UHT milk, tinned meat for hot meals and cold meats. Many thanks for all your recent donations. They are gratefully received<\/p>\nMinistry Area Annual Vestry Meeting <\/strong>took place at St. Peter\u2019s in Dinas Powys on Wednesday 13th May at 7.00pm.<\/p>\nLooking ahead\u2026<\/p>\n

A coach has been booked to convey members of our combined congregations to support David. The service will be reported in the July issue of \u2018What\u2019s On\u2019.<\/p>\nFeast Days to come include Pentecost \u2013 the birthday of the church. Followed by the season of Trinity and lastly on May 31st a joint Eucharist service for our three churches at 10.00 am.<\/p>\n
