CHURCHES TOGETHER IN THE COMMUNITY;
The season of Lent begins on Wed. Feb. 17th ('Ash Wednesday') and runs through to Easter, which this year falls on April 4th. During this period we will run a study group on Tuesday evenings at Calfaria, beginning at 7.00 p.m., thinking about what the Cross of Jesus is about and how it affects us today.
Also there is a bread and cheese lunch every Friday in Lent, except March 5th, in aid of Christian Aid. This year the lunch will be held at St. Michael's on Feb. 19th, and Calfaria on March 26th, with the remaining three taking place at Capel y Nant. The lunches begin at 12 midday.
CAPEL Y NANT
Our small Methodist congregation is in conversation with the much larger Welsh congregation at Capel y Nant about forming a Local Ecumenical Partnership. Work is underway on a Covenant and Constitution, as well as a legal Sharing Agreement in relation to the use of the premises. As part of our growing together we are organising some events together (see above), and look forward to a joint celebration of the proposed Capel y Nant partnership.
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
