\n\tThe fine spell of weather in June, has enabled our stone mason, Mike, to carry out the remedial work on the capping of the boundary walls along the southern edge of the churchyard. This means that all the work required to be carried out from the last quinquenial inspection is now complete.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tAn application for a faculty from the diocesan authorities for the removal of the concrete channelling along the base of the south wall of the nave and the chancel, and a French drain to be dug to take water and moisture out of the walls is being prepared and a notice to that effect has been displayed on the south door of the church. Part of this work will mean that the “soak away” will be sited under the main path to the church, where there should be no disturbance to any burials, and will mean that access to the church will be affected, but only for a short time.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe main event of last month was the organising of the annual Christian Aid Appeal with house to house collections in the three parishes, and other fund raising events such as the Lenten Lunches and the Agape Supper in the church Hall during the season of Lent. Thanks must go all who were involved in making this year such a success and to those who have so generously given donations. The final sum came to £2,960.85, which is a fantastic amount to raise. Well done to all.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThere is news to report from our village school… they are preparing for their School Inspection commencing on June 26th.. and also they have asked for help in a project they have started with the Gwenfo Primary School Peace Garden. A new peace garden is under development in the school grounds. This will be a place where pupils can sit quietly to reflect, pray or talk quietly with their friends. The hard landscaping is complete and has been paid for by PTA funds. Now the borders need planting. If you are able to donate a cutting, or divide a perennial and donate part to the school they would be very grateful. This has already been announced in church and donations of plant material from interested parties would be most welcome. The school will be happy to receive plants etc.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe next United Service for the Three Parishes will be at St Bleiddian’s Church, St Lythan’s on Sunday July 30th at 10.30am. this will be followed by a Pilgrimage Walk to Llandaff Cathedral with co-ordinated and timed stops along the way for people to join the walk where they wish to and there will also be a place where we will stop for a picnic lunch in Trelai Park. The walk will end with Cathedral evensong and there will be lifts back to St.Lythans\/ Wenvoe. Full details are in the “Connections” three parishes magazine or on St. Mary’s church notice board in the south porch.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe next Film Night at the Rectory will be at 7.30pm on Friday 7th July when the film “Moana” will be screened. Names please on the list in church if you wish to attend.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe next “Messy Church” event will be on Saturday 15th July at 3.30 – 5.30 pm in the school grounds, where a programme celebrating the Great Outdoors with games and activities, worship and food outside. All people of all ages are most welcome and the event is FREE.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tCelebrating a 3rd anniversary… Yes Jon has been here three years. How quickly the time seems to have gone by. In these three years there have been a number of changes, both in services, times of services, a combined parish magazine, and an awareness that each of our parishes are not on their own but part of a larger group, now called a Ministry Area. This is the policy of Llandaff diocese and the Church in Wales, to group parishes together, in sharing the work God has called us to do with one another. During this month we shall be welcoming our new Bishop in Llandaff, the Very Rev, June Osbourne, now Dean of Salisbury in the Church of England. Following the confirmation of her appointment, Dean June will be consecrated as Bishop at Brecon on July 15th and enthroned at Llandaff Cathedral on 22 July.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tGreetings to all our readers<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tParry Edwards<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fine spell of weather in June, has enabled our stone mason, Mike, to carry out the remedial work on the capping of the boundary walls along the southern edge of the churchyard.
