CHURCHES TOGETHER IN THE COMMUNITY
We have shared in the usual activities during Christian Aid Week, and have raised over £3000 through, amongst other things, the Fair and collections in the foyer at the Co-op.
On Whitsunday we were led by the Gwaun Cae Gurwen Band on the walk of witness through the village, and they stayed with us to accompany the hymns at the service in Forge FAch. Thanks to the local police for their presence as we walked, keeping us safe.
At our AGM we were moved by the words of Sally Morton, speaking to us about the recently formed UK group of Shevet Achim, a charity that arranges for young children suffering heart problems in Gaza and Iraq to get treatment in Israeli hospitals. Shevet Achim is the Hebrew for brothers living together in unity. Following the meeting a donation was given to Sally, and this was used to sponsor an 8 month old patient, Malak, during her surgery and after care.
CAPEL Y NANT
The proposed Covenant Partnership between Wesley and the Welsh congregation at Capel y Nant has become a reality. This pioneering Ecumenical Partnership combines members from three congregations, who worship using two languages, but who know that there is much that we can do together in the community, making full use of the building in Heol y Nant.
The Covenant was signed during a Celebration Service on May 27th and we are soon to work on a legal agreement regarding the premises at Capel y Nant.
LIGHTHOUSE PRAYER
This is a grassroots prayer project, not connected to any particular church, in which we think of and pray about local organisations, institutions and businesses. The meeting will be during term time on the first Monday of each month from 7.00 to 8.00 p.m. Phone 844018 for venue and to confirm date.
CROESO PROJECT
For a couple of years now a small group of Christians in Clydach have been thinking and praying about our place in the community of which we are part. We would like to be more visible, offering opportunities for people to find out about the faith and about our activities. However, we also believe strongly that we can make a contribution by being available to serve in the community.
WE are committed to care of the environment; promoting justice and peace; care of the whole person, body, mind and spirit; and to providing ceremonies for those transitional moments in life
- thanksgivings (e.g. for a birth or a life); reaffirmations (e.g. of marriage vows);
new beginnings (e.g. retirement or new commitment);
reconciliation (e.g. to self following failure or disappointment; or between people).
We are supporters of the City of Sanctuary campaign, and recently hosted an awareness meeting with a member of the refugee community to learn about the problems and issues involved. We are now looking into ways we can be involved in supporting asylum seekers in the Swansea area, and, if possible, in Clydach.
We have church buildings that could be used for public activities, and we would love to hear from you if there is something you would like to see in the village and think we might be able to help. Phone 845942
