Being Church in the New Landscape

Westminster College are running in-person workshops in Cardiff on June 26, Rhyl on June 27 and Shotton on June 28 to explore church life and inspire us in Walking the Way. These workshops are different to those on Saturday 25 June. Each workshop is free and lasts for approximately 90 minutes. Find out more here.

Crafting Flowers

Can you craft colourful flowers in wool, yarn, felt or fabric? We’re inviting crafters to create homemade flowers to be shared with churches for use in garlands, bouquets and tablecloths. For more information, please email Helen Moohan.

Congregation Snapshot

Please send a picture of your congregation to Megan Price. It can be a photo of the congregation at a service or during an activity, or a screenshot of an online event, or a collage to include people who are unable to meet in person. Please include something you give thanks for about your congregation and something where you would like prayerful support.
