It is wonderful to be able to write to you all with some Good News. As Easter approaches, I am happy to report that now that the Welsh Government has moved from its instruction of Stay at Home <\/em>to Stay Local <\/em>that it has been decided that we can now re-open our churches in Wenvoe and St Lythans for public worship. This will be from the end of March onwards.<\/p>\n
