Dear friends
Please find attached this week’s newsletter which also covers the Christmas week, too. It’s a very large newsletter and there are also quite a few attachments; however, with so much happening throughout the Mission Area in the lead up to, and during, Christmas we felt it was important to keep you all up-to-date with what’s planned, where and when.
You will find attached a Word and PDF copy of the newsletter which spans the 18th to 25th December. Readings are attached for the 18th, the 24th and the 25th December. There are also the three posters advertising the various events happening throughout the Mission Area this December. For those of you wishing to enjoy a lovely carol service, we have plenty scheduled and there’s a poster dedicated to the various dates and times. Everyone is welcome so please do feel free to come along. The other two posters advertise events happening in the lead up to Christmas, and then those scheduled for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Of course, please do share with anyone not on the newsletter distribution list and also please display on your noticeboards, Facebook pages and throughout any other groups, too. Don’t forget, you can also find further information on what’s happening on the Dyffryn Clwyd website: https://dyffrynclwyd.co.uk/christmas.
Also attached is a poster which details services taking place in early January so please do refer to this and share throughout your churches. And the Standing Committee Bulletin from the meeting which took place in Wrexham on 29th November is attached for your information and reference. Again, please feel free to share this.
As we approach Christmas, please hold our clergy, MAC members, volunteers and all our churches in your thoughts and prayers. It is a busy time for many of us peppered with excitement and joy. However, for some it can also be a lonely and sad time of year.
