January and February are traditionally quiet months in the life of the church, here in Wenvoe and elsewhere, following on from the hustle and bustle of Christmas. This year we have had a mild wet Winter, and this has kept our congregations attending church services in good numbers. Weather does play a great role in our lives, and when we have nothing else to talk about, it is always the weather that we fall back on. The daffodils in the churchyard are already in bloom with primroses and crocus in abundance in our gardens and parks\u2026this tells us that Spring is not far away, and that these days March 1st is the beginning of the meteorological season of Spring, as well as being the Feast of our Patron Saint St David.<\/p>\n

During the month the \u201cChattery\u201d on the 14th February brought a good crowd to the Church Hall when the theme was \u201cSt Valentine\u2019s Day\u201d celebrated with heart shaped chocolates and much more besides.<\/p>\n

\"\"On Saturday the 16th February the Family fun Quiz was a \u201csell out\u201d long before the night and a great enjoyable time was had. This was a good social occasion with \u201cquizzers\u201d from our sister parishes of Sully and St. Lythan\u2019s. We are indebted to our Quiz Master, Ian Moody and his assistants for setting the challenging questions. Thanks are also due to the social committee who work hard to arrange gatherings such as these, which in turn helps to raise money for the projects we have planned to improve and so often repair the ravages of time in our lovely church building.<\/p>\n

CHANCEL FLOOR SCHEME <\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision of the Diocesan Advisory Committee to the proposed scheme to lower the chancel floor to a gradual slope, taking away the chancel step, is awaited. Watch this space.<\/p>\n

MESSY CHURCH 2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Messy church has become an established event in the life of the church in Wenvoe and in lots of other parishes. The dates are been announced for the programme for 2019 with four sessions throughout the year, with the first on 30th March with the theme of \u201cMothering Sunday\u201d. The Wenvoe Community Centre is the place to be from 3.30 pm to 5.30pm with craft work, storytelling, singing, and a meal to round off the afternoon. Children accompanied with their parents are always made welcome at these gatherings and of course it is FREE. Adults of any<\/p>\n

age are always encouraged to attend, often to share in the activities and to encourage the children to give of their best in the craft work. Messy Church is organised with helpers from the Vale Village Church who meet to plan the programme for the year, with sessions in June, September and November\u2026 more details nearer the time. A big THANKYOU to all who give of their time to arrange these most enjoyable afternoons.<\/p>\n
