From the Vicar

Qualifying the Called

Already we have reached the third Sunday of Lent and are able to pause and  reflect upon our how Christ continues to touch our individual circumstances, our life as a parish, and how these experiences might be shared with others.

Once again a reminder that Bishop Gregory has set out three priorities for our Diocesan family over this church year and will be expecting a response from us as a parish at his Visitation in the Autumn.

Firstly -      enabling and encouraging the whole people of God

Secondly - enlivening and enriching our worship

Thirdly -     engaging the world

Our Annual Church Meeting - St Dyfnog’s 6 p.m. Wednesday 31st March in Church - will provide a platform for some discussion of these three priorities and how we might translate them into action!

This is an important meeting to set the direction for the parish over the next year and beyond.

We will be deciding upon our Churchwardens, Parochial Church Council members and also electing people to represent the parish at the annual Diocesan Conference and at meetings of our Deanery Conference.

We will not be re-electing people en block and will certainly be looking for new people to share the load which others have carried, so faithfully, often over long periods of time.

Please think carefully and prayerfully before the meeting, and about these elections - we are growing as a parish in so many ways - so come along, ready to share your ideas and offer your time and talents.
