This week we have had to close Llanenddwyn, Dyffryn because a significant part of the ceiling has come down (right over the minister's stall!), with other sections soon to follow. Presumably this has been exacerbated by the recent winds. The section is about 2 inches thick and could have caused considerable injury. From this Sunday therefore, the congregation will be worshipping at the Church Hall, Dyffryn. Please pray for the congregation as they make their temporary worshipping home in a new place. (The Remembrance service on the 8th November will be held in Llanddwywe)
This weeks readings: for those NOT having harvest Amos 5. 6,7,10-15,
Hebrews 4. 12-16,
Psalm 90. 12-17,
Mark 10. 17-31

Please also keep the refugee crisis in your prayers Merciful God, We pray for all whose desperation leads them to the sea, to undertake perilous voyages, often following dangerous journeys over land: those escaping brutal wars, those fleeing religious persecution, those escaping climate disasters and economic ruin, those looking for hope in a hopeless situation. May we look beyond our own fears and concerns to the needs of those who have nothing, risk everything and depend on the kindness of strangers. May our hearts be opened, our leaders be challenged and our self- interest be called out, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
