Say To This Mountain

Christian Aid Week has launched in Penrhys (as in everywhere else) this week and we are already in the midst of the many events that we have planned and have already made over £100 pounds for the charity.  To find out more about their work, visit www.christianaid.org.uk

On Sunday we saw some of the stories from different parts of the world where Christian Aid is working (alongside indiginous partners).  We also heard 'Pentecost Voices' from the DVD, where Christians from many diverse backgrounds celebrated the work of the Holy Spirit in the actions of Christ's disciples. Sunday evening saw the launch of 'Quiz Aid' which coincided with our monthly battle of the brains.  We were in three teams; Danhy's Diva's; the Teddybears and The Three Musketeers.  Danhy's Diva's won (once we'd stopped arguing about who was allowed to have which points and whether or not it counted that one of us knew the significance of the colours of the Olympic Rings... you had to be there) and so were the proud recipients of the Llanfair Quiz Shield;  a Certificate and bar of fairly traded chocolate.  We know how to celebrate here!

The photos above come from yesterday's auction, held outside despite the blustery conditions!  We managed to keep everything from flying away, Mary Poppins style and had a great time with our auctioneers, Sharon and Michael.  We even managed to compete with the visiting film crew who had come to film Darryl as he's made it on to the X Factor - well done Daryll!
