all sorts of toiletries eg. Shower Gel, Toothpaste, Toilet Rolls.- Our summer
collection at Tesco is being held on Thursday 2nd, Friday 3rd, and Saturday 4th
July, 10am - 4pm
So...we need for some extra volunteers for our Monday Distribution Centre,
donations of food and toiletries, volunteers to help out during our Tesco
collection - this need only be for just 1 hour over the 3 days.
For any offers of help please make contact with Sarah Coleman via one of the

Is anyone willing to give a lift for two passengers from Tutshill to
Lesley's at Itton on Saturday 20th June. If so please ring Sandra. Thankyou.
Notice…Bev has handled the Beacon accounts for 7 years and has decided its
selfish of her to keep the fun to herself. She will be stepping down at the end of
August, so if you think this is something that you would enjoy doing, then
please let her or Andrew know. Otherwise they will be forced to ask people to
volunteer.
Full training with as much cake as you can eat will be given. Bev
The Summer Envoy is now available in the Church Hall. It would be helpful if
deliverers could collect their copies and distribute them as soon as possible.
Thank you. Beryl and Terry Quinlan
Diary Dates
Wednesday 17th June - London. A mass lobby of MPs is being organised by
the climate coalition of which Christian Aid, Green Christian and Operation
Noah are all members. The aim is for people from every constituency to lobby
their MP to ensure that action on Climate Change is seen as an urgent priority.
Our MP is not committed to action on climate change preferring to believe that
human actions have little or no impact on the changes we are seeing; unlike
97% of climate scientists. So, it would be great to see him and find out why he
takes the stance he does and explain why we think he is wrong. If you are
interested in joining me please let me know by Tuesday 19th May, if you want
to travel on the train together. Otherwise as soon as you know. Details can be
found at http://www.theclimatecoalition.org/events/speak-love-climate-lobby
"I'm delighted to say that David Davies has agreed to meet me (and others)
Tuesday 23rd June @ 7pm - Roughshod Theatre present IRRESISTIBLE at St
on the 17th June and that Pam has made some beautiful bunting that I can take
with me. Ken from the Triangle Project has sent a moving email about how
climate change is affecting communities in Kenya. After church today, you have
an opportunity to add to the bunting with things that you love that are
threatened by climate change or you can write a message for David Davies. If
you prefer you can email me your personal messages for David Daives
on liz.a.neal@gmail.com. And please pray for all taking part in the lobby and
that it results is more urgent action on climate change."

Please be advised that our July bi-lingual Cymanfa Ganu will be on a
different format this year. The reason being, that the Monmouthshire and
District National Eisteddfodof Wales is to be held at Abergavenny in August
2016, and as part of the proclamation celebration (Proclamation Ceremony
takes place at 3pm on Saturday 27th June at Caldicot Castle) wishes to
incorporate our Cymanfa Ganu as part of the festivities.
The Proclamation Cymanfa Ganu will be held at St.Mary's Church in Wales,
Chepstow on Sunday July 5th at 7.30pm. The service will be recorded by Avanti,
and transmitted at a later date on S4C's Dechreu Canu Dechreu Canmol.
The Gymanfa will be conducted by Marc Jon Williams, who successfully
conducted the Gymanfa last year, I have been invited, and have accepted to
be the organist for the occasion.
You are all invited to attend the Gymanfa, and there are two English Hymns on
the programme, Cwm Rhondda and Blessed Assurance, with the remainder to
be sung in Welsh. Meurig
Should you require any further information about the Eisteddfod visit www.eisteddfod.org.uk
There are some interesting leaflets in the vestibule explaining a bit more about
the National Eisteddfod, and the events that can be arranged to raise the
necessary funding. You are invited to, if you wish, to take one.
Thank you Meurig
