Help for Haiti
After the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti 15 days ago, members of Agape Community Church began collecting items of clothing; bedding; medicines and other essentials ready to ship to the country and those in need.
These items were collected and sorted through and left for a container ship on the 27th Jan.
For further information on the Haiti Hospital Appeal that the shipment is going to help, please see:

418
Many thanks to everyone who participated in 418 , including those who wanted to but were unable to.
418 update!
Agape Community Church has a passion for seeing the needs of the community met. and for seeing those around Risca and Ty-Sign recognising that God loves them, and Jesus has died and risen again so that everyone can have a relationship with their heavenly father.
Agape relates it’s mission on Ty-Sign to a bible verse - Luke 4:18.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed.
In 2008 Agape launched a project called 418 which aimed to find out the needs of the community and to meet them in the best way that we were able to. over 40 volunteers gave up a weekend to help community members to complete jobs they were unable to do by themselves.
This year we are running 418 again, but with a bit of a difference.
Come along to the TLC for a cup of tea, and while your there get some helpful advice on managing your money in the current fincial climate.
There will be activities for the kids and free refreshments for the adults.
Come along to the field opposite the TLC from 1. 30pm to have a go at various sporting activities. We have everything from Frisbee golf to wellie wanging! Have a bit of fun, and stick around for the free community BBQ at 5pm. After everyone has had some food we will be welcoming Evaburn plus a guest. Stick around to hear them play and enjoy the evening!
If it rains, the afternoon activities will be in the Manor pub’s hall. They will be slightly scaled down but just as fun! To save them (and us) getting too wet if it rains, the bands will be playing from 7pm in St David’s Church hall.
A team of volunteers will be spending the day completing gardening projects in the community. They will also be very busy on Sunday, so if you have a few hours to spare over the weekend and you want to help someone out with a bit of gardening or help us rid the estate of litter, signb up on Saturday on the field or send us a message on the blog and we will get back to you asap.
We are looking for more community volunteers - for this weekend! If you can spare a couple of hours please do get in touch! You can also sign up by going into the TLC Cafe and adding your name to the list of vounteers on the board!
See you there!!! We can’t wait!
New Flame Logo (and a small request)
New Flame Logo
We are looking for some thoughts on the new logo for flame. It incorprates all that we do at flame, looking up, learning about ourselves, getting new ideas, being excited about them, asking questions, and letting the answers effect the way we treat other people!
Hope you like it. Let us know!
Just so you know, Flame will be expanding rapidly around June time, so if you could spare an hour on a thursday evening from 6-7 we would really appreciate some help! This could range from standing and watching, through making squash to leading a small group in a short study (all written out for you!) It looks like we could have around 16 young people so three leaders really isn’t enough! Please speak to me if you could help in any way! Thank you!

LOGOS HOPE, OM Cardiff (May 28th)
| Partner With Us |
You Can Make A Difference!This is a massive God-sized project. We welcome the partnership of friends and organisations who will embrace our vision, and work together with us to make the vision of Logos Hope a reality. There are many different ways you can be a part of this project. Pray with us…Prayer is at the core of all we do. Over and above our own efforts, we recognise that it is only God’s hand upon us and upon all we do that will move us forward. Challenges and needs surface from time to time (sometimes more often than we would like!), and we need to continually bring these requests before God’s throne of grace. For more news and prayer requests, sign up for our regular updates by emailing info@shipsoffice.org Consider giving financially…Every gift, big or small, helps us cover the costs of getting Logos Hope ready for service and keeping OM Ships in operation. There are various ways you, your church, or your business can give – through financial donation or sponsorship of equipment, tools and resources that we need to outfit the ship. See the Giving section for more details. Join us…Short and long term volunteers of all ages, and with different skills are needed to staff Logos Hope and help complete the ship’s renovations.

A Resurrection Fib
A Resurrection Fib.
Luke chapter 24 verse 41 says, “The disciples disbelieved for joy”.
I’m not sure what that means either. However, I am going to think about it before next’ Sunday’s sermon. In the meantime, the phrase has prompted the following resurrection fib.
If you are not sure what a ‘fib’ is – it’s based on Fibonacci’s number sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 (i.e. the next number being the sum of the two previous numbers). If you can add to my ‘fib’ or want to try one of your own, go for it.
Christ?
Yes!
Risen?
Disbelieve!
Disbelieve for joy!
Incredulity learns to laugh,
unembarrassed by the scandal of resurrection.
