We extend a warm welcome to everyone who joins us for our special Mothering Sunday service. If this your first visit you are especially welcome.
Our Service today is being led by the Kid’s Club Team – it will be a service with a difference! May we all know the joy of worship in God’s presence and be made aware of God’s message to us all.
Fair-trade tea and coffee will be served after this morning’s service; and hand-made greetings cards, including Easter cards will also be available.
The Copper pot is on the table at the back of the church, if you have any small change, please, put it in the pot and it will eventually be given to a local charity.

All are welcome to an evening gathering with Dr Rowan Williams and, Amanda Mukwashi at Ararat Baptist Church, Whitchurch, Cardiff on Monday evening 1st April, at 7.30pm
This is a somewhat unprecedented event, with Christian Aid’s Directors and Trustees visiting Wales.
