Dear friends,
Well what a fabulous Holy Week and Easter season we have experienced in The Garth Ministry Area this year.
It began with a truly inspiring series of sermons by our guest preacher Revd Stephen Adams. He helped us to see that through Jesus’ actions of love we didn’t just have reasons for hope but rather an overwhelming reason for Joy. And we certainly felt that Joy on Easter Day as most of our churches experienced an increase in numbers attending our services.
We welcomed new families and those we hadn’t seen for some time. It was especially joyful to have so many young children in our congregations. Thank you to all who delivered our Easter leaflets into our communities – a well worthwhile exercise.
Our joy has continued as we welcomed Bishop Mary to Creigiau Church Hall on the 4th May to confirm 11 people from the Garth MA in a wonderful MA wide service.
These are just some of the recent joy-filled moments we will be able to celebrate at our Annual Vestry Meeting which takes place on the 21st May at 7 pm in the New Schoolrooms in Christ Church. Please do come along to this important MA wide meeting.
Christ is Risen. Alleluia! Alleluia!
