As there are no Services planned for Sunday 26th December, the Ministers have together produced a video service to be shared across the Circuit.

You can watch the Service here:

Lots of our Churches are getting ready for Christmas and decorating ready for all the special Services through Advent and Christmas. Send us in some photos of your Church decorations, trees, Nativity scenes etc.  and we will share them here and on our Facebook page.

Wesley Methodist Church, Canton decorated their tree inside the Church ready for the first Sunday of Advent, accompanied by video commentary from Alexis and plenty of tea and cake!

Alexis also joined Cathays Methodist Church as they decorated trees both in the Church and the downstairs foyer in preparation for their Toy Service on 5th December where they collected new toys to donate to The Trinity Centre.

Last Sunday 28th November, a White Ribbon Service was held at Cyncoed Methodist Church, led by Gauri along with CMCC Choir.

The White Ribbon Service had the honour of Mr Huw Jakeway QFSM speaking out powerfully on behalf of the fire service against VAW. ‘Any fire station is now a safe haven. If you are in danger go to them. They will help you’

Mark Hegarty sang his soul out for survivors and those who protect them and then gave a powerful message launching WCID and what can be done to prevent VAW.

And of course the fabulous CMCC sang their version of ‘Rise’.

Together we can do amazing things.….like helping to prevent women and young girls from losing their lives because of VAW.
And every single abused woman loses her life.
Because life will never be the same again.

We’re proud to be supporting the White Ribbon Campaign.

Circuit Plan December 2021 – February 2022

(Please note that this plan looks a little different to previous plans. Churches are now listed in alphabetical order rather than in the old clusters. Christmas Services not already included on this plan will be uploaded to this website soon.)

Rumney Methodist Church enjoyed a great afternoon today with plenty of cake and tea/coffee and they even raised £310 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Well done to all who helped with this event and in making all those delicious looking cakes!

Yesterday two of the Churches in our Circuit re-started their Junior Church activities. You can find out about the fun they had below and if you are interested in joining in the fun, you can contact the Circuit Office and we can pass on the information.

Wesley Methodist Church, Canton
Junior Church had a great first session today. The focus of the session was learning about being a follower of Jesus. Activities included pass the parcel, an obstacle course, card game and making crowns. Sessions usually run on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. New members always welcome, feel free to send a message if you have any questions.

St. Andrew’s Methodist Church, Birchgrove
Junior Church started back yesterday and it was lovely to see everyone back again. We started off by looking at Abraham and how he trusted God, packing up his life and family to move where God told him. The younger ones also painted a sheet of stars to remind them of God’s promise that Abraham would have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky. We look forward to seeing them all again next week for the next part of Abraham’s story.

If you have had any special times or events in your Churches and want to share them, please contact the Circuit Office.
