Dear Friends,

Advent is the season of expectation and preparation for Christmas. We must stand aside from the mad rush of commercialism, and to quietly contemplate the wonder of God`s love in the Christ Child. Have you ever thought about the many strands that go to make up the celebration of Christmas?

Dear Friends

It is very easy in the day by day life of the Church in a Circuit such as ours, to miss the wood for the trees. What I mean is that so much of our time is given (and rightly given) to administration, finance, upkeep of buildings and much else besides. Those who serve on Church Councils will know how much of our regular agenda is concerned with these and similar issues. 

Dear Friends,

I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself. After all, it's not every day that you get a new minister.  

So, for the record, my name is Huw John Sperring. I`m 52 years old, was born and bred in South Wales in a little sleepyvillage called Portskewett, close to the River Severn. The original Severn Bridge could be seen very clearly from the home I grew up in.
