Church Family News
We ask you to remember in your prayers:
Jan Bayliss, who is recovering in hospital following an unexpected operation on Tuesday. Those known to us who have experienced problems caused by their medication and those facing changes in their lifestyle through lack of transport and those have who find this time of year difficult
Thanks from Marlene….. I wish to thank everyone for the help and support I received when Rod was in hospital, especially Susan & Huw, also for the prayers, flowers, cards and visits following Rod’s passing; they were a great help and comfort to me at a difficult time.

Dates for your Diary
Monday 15th June Film Night
For this month’s film and chat evening – which starts at 7pm – we will be watching and discussing a French language drama (with English subtitles) that is based on the kidnapping of Algerian monks by fundamentalists in 1996. This multi-award winning film offers a reflection on faith, violence and inter-religious dialogue. Certificate 15.
Wednesday 10th June Ladies Guild
We will meet again to share an afternoon of fun as we ‘exercise’ while sitting down! Chair exercising is fun! The music played as well as helping us is most enjoyable. Come along you will be most welcome.
Saturday 20th June Coffee Bar Meeting
This meeting, at 10am, is for anyone who is interested in and willing to help keep the Coffee Bar open! This is currently our only outreach in ‘town’. If you have any ideas or are interested and are unable to attend the meeting, please let Stephanie or Anne know in writing

Notices
Sunday Café
The Sunday Café that operates from our hall is looking for volunteers to help, on a rota basis, once every 6 weeks from 7.00-8.30, preparing soup, serving tables and chatting to the guests. If you can help contact Richard Boyle.
Reform
This month is the last time we get extra free copies of Reform, so make the most of it and grab a copy while you can! June’s issue has an interview with a ‘hermit’! And no – I didn’t know there were hermits around today either. The ‘good question’ asked this month is ‘What happens when I die?’ and it’s interesting to learn what people with different faith perspectives think about this.
Visit to the Welsh Assembly
Last week a group of ladies attended the Senedd for the launch of the report of the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales entitled,” Making a difference for older people in Wales”. The report covers so many topics that older people are concerned about, for example, care homes; public services; travel and well-being, to mention just a few. The consulting groups and the engagement of diverse groups across the whole of Wales have shaped this report. Issues affecting older people will be heard and acted upon and legal powers will be used to bring about change that older people want and have a right to see.
What is reassuring is that if an older person has issues or concerns that are not being listened to or have been shelved, there is a direct telephone line to the Commissioner’s team which will stand up and speak out on your behalf. Email ask@olderpeoplewales.com or Tel:08442 640670
