November 2011Encounter - Cyncoed Methodist - Friday 18th November at 7.30pm
December 2011Creative Communication Session led by John Hardwick - Llandaff North Methodist (Copleston Road) Dawn Live
Combined Covenant Service
The service was followed by a four course lunch prepared by volunteers from the three churches. Over seventy stayed for this and it was a time of sharing and fellowship together. Many new friendships were formed by those attending as well as by those who were helping. It was a great team effort and the atmosphere happy and congenial. One person was heard to remark ‘you could feel the love in the room’. It was a great example of the three churches working together and I am sure there will be many more occasions when we do so again. Jenny Howells Elder of Christchurch URC

At 5.30am on Easter morning 8 enthusiastic young people and their youth workers made their way to the top of Caerphilly Mountain to welcome the dawn and share in the peace and wonder of a new world. These young people were taking part in the, now annual, Youth Space Dawn Live event that encourages participation by young people aged 11-18 from across the Methodist Church in Cardiff and Caerphilly in the tradition of welcoming Easter day from one of South Wales’ most beautiful vantage points. As the dawn chorus sprang to life around them the young people took part in the dawn service remembering the women who visited the tomb early that first Easter morning and planted seeds as signs of the new life, before the sun eventually made its way through the mist. This commitment to the celebration of the Risen Christ at the earliest opportunity has been observed for many years by members of the Methodist Church in Cardiff and Caerphilly in many varied ways and it is a pleasure to see young people involving themselves so readily in a true dawn service. Whilst the young people returned to the Church where they had stayed overnight to enjoy bacon sandwiches other members of the church made their way towards the top of the mountain for their slightly warmer and brighter sunrise service later in the morning.
On Sunday 30th January at Whitchurch Methodist Church, the members of Whitchurch Methodist, Llandaff North Methodist and Christchurch URC, Llandaff North joined together for a combined covenant service. The service was led by the Rev. John Rowe and Deacon Liz Rowe and there were over a hundred in the congregation. The shared worship was inspiring and uplifting and the singing resounding.
