{ bless }
The { bless } discipleship group is launching afresh starting from this week (28th February) on Tuesday evenings from 7pm in the Church lounge. 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!
Lent Book Club
This started on Monday 20th February and is taking place in the Church Lounge every Monday from 1-3 pm. We are looking at the book "He Chose the Nails" by Max Lucado. Please see Jon for further details.
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. The next meeting is on the 3rd March.
Family News
Please continue to keep Tim Barker and the family in your prayers. His dad John passed away recently after a short period in hospital. The funeral will be taking place on Tuesday 28th February at 11am in Llanelli Crematorium.
Paradise Run
Some of you may remember the "paradise run" that some people from Bethel used to be involved in. It is run by Rainbow of Hope, which is a local charity reaching out to the homeless and disadvantaged in Cardiff. This charity is run by volunteers from different denominations across the city. They are looking for volunteers to help with the nightly soup kitchen that serves food and drink to people in need . If you would like more information, please contact Elizabeth Perrett-Atkins on 02920 494317/
