Newsletter for Sunday 30th October 2022

Dear Friends,
 
CONGRATULATIONS ! 
This week I would like to say how proud we are here in Dyffryn Clwyd mission area to learn that St Saeran’s church Llanynys has been chosen as the winner of the National Churches Trust ‘Open for Visitors Wales’ award 2022. Check out this Face book link to see the award ceremony in Mercer’s Hall London. https://fb.watch/gpfiv7EQVo/
 
Well done and thank you to the mission area, Llanynys church and community for all their hard work, this award is well deserved.  A hearty thank-you to all the people who over the years have kept alive the hope that Llanynys would one day be recognised as a place of retreat and spiritual tourism.  More work needs to be done in terms of fundraising and planning. Please continue to pray that
St Saeran’s church will one day become an important retreat centre for spiritual tourism in Wales.
