Growing his church
News from Barmouth Churches- St John the Evangelist and St David’s
St David’s The future of the church was discussed at last week’s meeting of the
Barmouth Churches. It was felt that St David’s is dearly loved by many local people and is perfectly situated for mission, outreach and ministry to visitors: we
should therefore explore the possibility of developing the church to provide a multi-functional space that, with toilets and kitchen, could provide a venue for a wide
range of church and community activities - AS WELL AS regular services, funerals,
etc. We are meeting the church architect and Conservation Officer to discuss the
possibility this week. Such a project will inevitably take a considerable amount of
effort, time and money. In the meantime , it was agreed that the vestry be redecorated to accommodate the Barmouth, St Philips and Llanaber paperwork (of
which there is heaps- presently in the Rectory!) and to provide an office and small
meeting room for Owain and the Ministry Team.
St David’s is very expensive to heat, and so, with very small midweek and Sunday
evening congregations and limited income, it seems sensible to reduce the number of weekly services during the coldest months. After Christmas a regular alternating Sunday evening services will be held with Christchurch (Presbyterian
Church Of Wales) . It was a joy to worship with them last Sunday. We will also join
them on the following dates:
Remembrance Sun: Christchurch with us at St David’s 6pm for Holy Communion.
Nov 22nd. At Christchurch for evening worship 6pm
Dec 20th United Carol Service 6pm at Christchurch.
Three Christian youth groups from N. Wales have offered to come and give St David’s a special ‘deep clean’ and clear - probably on Nov 21st as part of their
Community Service.
During winter, the Wed Communion in church will be replaced by a monthly service
of Holy Communion in the lounge of Hafan Deg flats on the last Wed of each
month - to which all are warmly invited. We thank Nancy for her years of faithful
service to St David’s, and Shirley who is now looking after this church.
St John’s Two new wardens, Max and Sian, have joined the team. We thank
them for accepting these roles and pray for their ministry. It was good to welcome members of St Mary’s at last week’s Baptism service. Thank you for coming
‘up the hill’. St John’s congregation are aware of the parking constraints and the
wardens are beginning to explore possible ways forward to provide additional
parking. Miriam and I would like to thank St John’s for their wonderful, warm
welcome and beautiful flowers. We look forward to serving God at the ‘Barmouth
end’ of the Bro. Please contact me with any thoughts and questions, Beth
