{ bless }
We wanted to share the exciting news that the { bless } discipleship group is launching afresh at the end of February, this time on Tuesday evenings from 7pm in the Church lounge. We'll be kicking off on Tuesday 28th Feb - and if you've never heard about it, you can check out more information here:
https://www.bethelcardiff.org.uk/Articles/640084/_bless.aspx or if you fancy a chat about it, discipleship is a huge passion of Jon's and he'd love to talk to you! If you'd love to be part of a group like this, but Tuesday evenings are absolutely hopeless for you, still get in touch and we'll see what we can do!
Prayer Times
There are a couple of opportunities each week to join with others for a time of prayer. Monday Evening at 7pm and / or Saturday morning at 10am both in the lounge. It would be great if you could join us.
Crafty Chatters
Do you enjoy craft? A few of us will be getting together to craft, have a chat and catch up over a cup of tea or coffee. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month from 7.30pm - 9pm. If you are interested in coming along or want to know more, have a chat with Sue Rock or Ruth Evans.
Church Lunch
This is taking place on Sunday 29th January after the church service, There is a sign up sheet on the noticeboard in the lounge for you to sign up if you would like to come. There is also another sign up sheet for food contributions that can be made.
