What's On...
Here is your weekly update from the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Ministry Area.
WOW! What a wonderful Easter. What a joy and blessing this Easter has been across the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Ministry Area.
From the solemn beauty of Holy Week to the radiant hope of Easter Day, we have journeyed together through the story of Christ’s passion, death, and glorious resurrection. It has been deeply moving to see so many people gather in faith, prayer, and worship bearing witness to the living hope we share in the risen Lord.
We give heartfelt thanks to all who came, who served, who prayed, and who helped make our celebrations so prayerful and uplifting. Your presence is a true sign of the Body of Christ alive and at work in this place.
As we continue in the joy of the Resurrection, may the light of Christ shine in our hearts and in our communities, and may we go forth renewed in faith, hope, and love.
Services return to their usual times this Sunday, and all are warmly welcome.
“Alleluia. Christ is risen.
He is risen indeed. Alleluia.”
