Say To This Mountain

Sorry about the long break.  Easter has been a busy time (no surprise there).  In order to help catch up, here is copy of the news we've recently sent to our Partners.

NEWS FROM LLANFAIR, PENRHYS

Here is good news from one of our young people, Kelly who comes to worship and attends Homework Club at Llanfair:

We had an open day in Penrhys.  It was a really lovely day to celebrate our patron saint, Saint David, on March 1st.  We were cooking Welsh cakes and serving tea and we were making Mother’s day cards, we had face painting, making floral displays, we had young people singing in church.  The people who were singing wrote the songs themselves and there was a DVD showing last year’s festival.

On March 6th over 30 children from Penrhys Primary School went to the Parc and Dare theatre in Treorchy as part of a dance festival.  Our children were from years 4,5 and 6 (aged 8-11), they danced the Lindy-hop to Christina Aguilera.  They were brilliant!

More good news from Sharon:

The relationship between Llanfair and Penrhys Primary continues to grow and is a real blessing in so many ways.  We enjoy welcoming the children as they come up class by class on Monday mornings for worship in the Chapel, followed by squash and biscuits in the café.

Our minister, Siân, takes assembly on Thursday mornings and has lots of good ideas of involving the children who are always keen to participate.

On the last day of term there was an Easter Bonnet parade in school, followed by a procession up to the Chapel for end of term worship with the whole school.  Many parents and grandparents lined the route as the children and staff made their way to Llanfair – it was very special.

Siân and I are part of an Eco committee at school, which has lots of great ideas and plans (especially from the children) to improve our environment.  The bulbs and shrubs planted by the children last year are growing well and there are plans to plant vegetables this year.  A bird feeding station has been set up and we are working on developing recycling facilities.

Our very own radio station, Rhys Radio has been broadcasting throughout the month of March.  It has gonevery well with many people far and wide listening in and enjoying the programmes, especially those led by Siân, Michael and Peter with participation from Laura, Dahny andNjara.  WELL DONE PENRHYS.
