Regular events – Trefn yr wythnos

Welcome back to Salem!

| salemtonteg

On the 16th May 2021 we will be returning to in-person worship. Hallelujah! It will be lovely to see you all again – and new people will be so very welcome. Here is our new pattern of services:

9.30 am every Sunday: Welsh language service / Oedfa Gymraeg

11 am every Sunday: traditional English language service

Twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, beginning 16th May 2021: Sunday Celebration at 4 pm.

What is a sunday celebration?!

This is a new venture, which we hope will make it easier for children, young people and families to worship together. It will also be especially suitable for newcomers, or those who prefer a more relaxed service. We will start at 4 pm with some worship music together and a reading from the Bible. Then, after 10 minutes or so, we will split up into groups:

Primary age children will enjoy Sunday School fun and games in the Chapel or the garden (children too young to attend school must be accompanied by a responsible adult, please)

Secondary school age young people will go to the minister’s home for Beibl a Bwyd youth group

Parents of Sunday School children, as well as all other adults who are interested, will be invited to join a welcoming and relaxed group (we call these Life Groups) in the vestry/church hall.

Why not give it a go? You will be so welcome!

Beibl a Bwyd

We are looking forward to our new look Beibl a Bwyd which will be part of our Sunday Celebration. This will be in Salem at 4 pm on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, and after some joint worship time, Beibl a Bwyd will go off to Rosa and Francis’ house/garden for food, faith and fun! Please remember to bring a mask as this has to be worn at all times indoors under current Government guidelines for running youth groups. Food will be available in the garden only, for the same reason.

We are really looking forward to welcoming you all – but we need a signed permission slip! Please download it here https://1drv.ms/b/s!AnsOyg_eF7KRgYI9QVhC5efMtJBoxw?e=UdYXtg , print it out, fill it in and send it with your young person to Salem at 4 pm on Sunday 16th May.

Parents/carers/grandparents: during Beibl a Bwyd, there will be a Life Group running at Salem where adults can discuss things that matter in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You would be very welcome to stay for that!
