Published every Wednesday
Connecting you to the churches of South Cardiff Ministry Area across Butetown, Grangetown and Splott.
Our vision is to be a creative and resourceful community which is welcoming, faithful and just!
Shine!
We’ve now had three weeks of our August Shine Club!
Our theme is “Life with Jesus”. In the first week we explored the calling of the first disciples. Then we looked at Jesus calming the storm. The third week was all about Jesus feeding the 5000 and we will finish up next week by looking at Jesus’ Great Commission – sending us out to serve him in the world.
All are welcome to come along and join in the fun!

Interfaith visits
Would you like to find out more about our local synagogue and mosque?
People from our churches have been invited to pay a visit to both during October. On Saturday 10 October, we’ve been invited to join the Cardiff Reform Synagogue in Moira Terrace for their Shabbat service at 10.30am, which lasts for an hour and a half.
The following Saturday, 17 October, we’ve been invited to visit the mosque in Clydach Street, Grangetown, at 10am, for an hour-long visit.
If you would like to come on either or both, please give your name to Fr Richard or sign the list in any church.
