St Ffraid's Church, Llansantffraid

Some of the animals who came to our blessing service yesterday. Rather wind swept but terapins, guinea pigs, ducks and a range of dogs brought their owners to worship. The talk was given by our local community vet-Mr Mark Overend who talked of the awe and wonder of his work particularly in the field of cardiology.

 

In March this year we held a Celebration of Marriage in St Ffraid's' church. This year our sister church, St Garmon's Church, Llanfechain has hosted more weddings than in the last 20 years. Half of these are Roman Catholic weddings and we are proud to share our church with another denomination. There have also been more weddings booked in Llansantffraid this year and our two churches are enjoying developing a ministry to couples and young families.

Easter

 

 

As usual we enjoyed a full week of services with our Worship Leaders leading the evening services.

 

 

 

This year Bruno led the Palm Sunday procession from the Community Hall to church and on Wednesday of Holy Week we enjoyed a pilgrimage to Pennant Melangell.

 

 

Confirmation

 

Bishop John after the Deanery Confirmation on 23rd September at St Ffraid's. Fifteen of the confirmees were from our parishes and we look forward to them all getting involved in our church life through youth events, Pathfinders and Family Services.

Favourite part- definitely the lunchtime BBQ!

Members of Pathfinders from Llansantffraid and Llanfechain Churches joined together on 1st August to enjoy a day at Redridge Adventure Centre on one of the sunniest days of the year. The group were challenged at heights, through artificial caves and on water. Pathfinders will start again on Mondays (Llansantffraid) and Thursdays (Llanfechain) with a lot more resources - thanks to a grant from the Archbishop of Wales' Fund for Children.
