The { bless } discipleship group launched on 28th February and takes place 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.

Rock Uk Instructor Training Programme
Rock UK is currently searching for 24 young people to join their Gap Year/s Instructor Training Programme (ITP) in September 2023. Like we read in Luke 10, ‘the harvest is plentiful’, so in light of this they need 24 trainee instructors this year to help get their Christian mission delivered. Please pray that all the spaces are filled and that they see more young lives transformed. There is an ITP Open Day event at Frontier Centre, Northamptonshire on March 25th. Please pray that this event will be well attended, and if you know anyone who might be interested, Rock UK would love to hear from them. Please see details below or contact 01933 654103.
