This Week's Parish News

Can you help? 

We need someone (or three someones) to:

1.  Order supplies for sacristy, eg candles, wine, palms, etc.  This is not an onerous job but involves phoning or emailing suppliers with orders; unpacking and putting away deliveries.

2.  Assess greeting card requirements and purchase for stand in narthex for sale to parishioners, e.g. sympathy, mass, first communions, confirmation, etc. Suit someone who enjoys travelling to Cardiff (CTS Bookshop) once in a while.  Bus pass an advantage.

Or applicant could use computer skills to order on-line.

3.  Church Noticeboards - someone each week to update and put up notices on noticeboards (inside and outside notice board).  New notices available for the weekend from Friday. Computer skills may be an advantage in making new posters/notices but not necessary since this could be done by office.

OUR PARISH YOUTH CLUB

Most of you are aware that St Dyfrig's Church runs a thriving Youth Club on Friday evening for anyone between year 7 and year 12 in secondary school. The  club offers young people a safe place to get together with their friends to play various fun games and activities from basketball to arts and craft to different game consoles. Sadly we have lost some of our volunteers due to other commitments in the past few months; therefore we would ask you all for help.

Youth Club cannot open unless a minimum of 4 volunteers are on the premises by opening time. This is to cover both 'Health and Safety' and 'Child Protection' regulations.  Unfortunately, we are now understaffed and are looking for some new volunteers.

In order to prevent closure of the Youth club or us having to turn members away on the day we need more people to step forward by offering their services.  So, if you can help for 2 hours on Fridays please get in touch.   You could help every week, fortnight or just once a term. We will appreciate it all.

 Thank-you for your kind support and help -  The Youth Club Team.

Security!

This week, "Laser Alarms" has been installing security devices (door sensors and infra-red detectors) on the Hall, Church and Presbytery. Next week we hope to have personal access codes available in the carousel for all our registered keyholders. Don't panic - the alarm system will not go live until all keyholders have been briefed.

PCT link needed

The Parish Advisory Council (PAC) would like to invite parishioners of St Dyfrig's Community to represent our parish at the 'Pontypridd Christians Together' group who meet locally once every two months.  More than one person can attend.

We would be grateful for any volunteers to let us know if they are willing to attend on our behalf, and to provide feedback to the PAC when appropriate. Our thanks go to Margaret Priest who has represented our parish for some considerable time.

If you are interested in attending in the future, or would like more information, please contact the parish office.

Barbara Bale, PAC Chair
