Dyffryn Clwyd Mission Area vacancy update

If you missed it in last week’s newsletter, the exciting news is that we have received recent communication from the Diocesan Office confirming advertising for the vacancy will commence with immediate effect. As well as the Church Times, the vacancies will be advertised on the diocesan and provincial websites and promoted strongly on social media.

Please may we ask for you to pray for this discernment process so that we are able to find the right person for this role. Please hold everyone involved in fulfilling this vacancy in your thoughts and prayers: our clergy team and Mission Area Conference, the Diocesan Office and of course, the prospective candidates themselves.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety Advice from StAR
Public Health Wales has launched a new campaign and is keen to reach people not on social media. They’ve asked if our churches can display the following posters in appropriate places: Welsh / English. 

And finally, thank you to all those churches who have made contact with me to support with advertising of events. As we start to think about Lent and Easter, please can I kindly ask all churches to get in touch with me and let me know what you are planning – services, special events, fundraising etc. I will gladly help you with marketing and advertising, such as designing posters, advertising events on the website, social media and PR, and anything else you need! My email is imogen@dyffrynclwyd.co.uk and new mobile number is 07543 504486.

Kind regards
