WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE PARISH
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
The Church needs its Marthas: we are all grateful to those who selflessly devote themselves to the traditional ‘feminine’tasks. But this is not the sum total of women’s gifts. The Church also needs its Marys, its Phoebes, and its Priscillas, who are likely these days to find themselves in the forefront of public ministry, pastoral, priestly and episcopal.

SERVICES IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER
Throughout August and most probably some of September all the regular services usually held at St. Teilo's will be held at St. Michael's. This is to enable major repairs to be undertaken to the floor of the Nave. The times of the main services, the 11.15 am Eucharist on Sundays and the 7.00 pm Eucharist on Tuesdays will not change. The one exception to this is the morning Eucharist on Sunday 20th August which will be a joint service with St. Michael's commencing at 10.30 am. Check here for details of when services will recommence at St. Teilo's.
BARBECUE AND SUPER-HEROES 20TH AUGUST
On Sunday 20th August there will be a full Parish Eucharist at St. Michael's (replacing the usual 9.30am and 11.15am Services). It will be followed by a Barbecue to which all are invited including friends. The theme of the Barbecue will be "Super-Heroes" and there will be a prize for the best costume for those wishing to dress up.
