Great joy was had on 13th July when Archdeacon Eileen licensed Dr Andy Starr as Worship Leader at St Anne’s Church (Aberystwyth LMA). We’re excited to see how God will use Andy in his new capacity.

TRIBUTE:
Our thoughts and prayers are with our sisters and brothers of the Roman Catholic Church. The sudden death of Pope Francis has come as a shock to the whole world, however his dying at Easter is a blessed reminder of the Hope that the Risen Jesus brings to the whole world.

A prayer for Ukraine.

Most holy God and Father,
hear our prayers for all who strive for peace
and all who fight for justice.
Help us, who today remember the cost of war,
to work for a better tomorrow;
and, as we commend to you
lives lost in terror and conflict,
being us all, in the end,
to the peace of your presence;
through Christ our Lord.

Bishop Dorrien attended Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi. He toured the school, joined the assembly and judged an art competition.  He thanked the staff and pupils for all that they do.  Headteacher Mrs Thomas reminded everyone that the school is part of an educational tradition going back to Dewi Sant himself

Clergy, families and friends gathered to witness six young people make their confirmation promises in St Katherine's Milford Haven.  Bishop Dorrien was delighted to see the light of Christ burning in the Haven as a sign of hope and prays their faith grows and inspires others to follow.
