Phil 2 V 5-11
How did God reveal himself to this world? JB

Now that I have experienced forgiveness and grace in my life,no-one could tell me that Jesus isn’t real. I’m not perfect but God has done so much in my life. It’s not about rules or membership in a certain denomination, it is simply about a relationship with Jesus. KH C/O the Saint John Community Chaplaincy

“Who do you say I am?”
Matt 16 V 15

“I am a Christian, I have faith in the Lord. My mum goes to church every weekend & I had to go when I was younger but I didn’t appreciate it. I appreciate it now. Its one of the best things that that has ever happened to me but the hardest thing is having faith in something you can’t see but I have overcome that.” (QPR if you are wondering)

This Sunday sees the launch of ‘First Contact’. It is a meeting for people who
are new to church, never been to church or just want to know what all the fuss
is about. We will be taking a back to basics approach where religious jargon and
church-speak is banned. There will be no assumptions of what people know about
Jesus, God or the Bible. We are using the TLC Café and it takes place between
6.00 and 7.00. We don’t expect everyone in Agape to attend, in fact we only want
people to attend if they’re bringing someone with them. At present we plan to
run this monthly. Please pray that it is a success

T.L.C. (Ty-Sign and Local Community Partnership)

To provide lighting and fencing to a multi use games area children’s park and small skateboard park in the Ty-Sign area. This facility is only currently used in the Summer due to insufficient lighting and lack of security for the children/youth.

What does your charity/project do?

By all agencies working together with different age groups and canvassing their opinions these improvements have come out top of their agenda to improve their community. We are working together to make this happen. The changes that we wish to make will benefit everyone and give the youth an area to call their own. This should reduce anti social behaviour and provide a safe environment for years to come.

How does your charity/project support the local community?

The TLC provides service for all ages within the community. They provide a cafe, bingo for the over 50’s, Under 14’s youth club etc. The committee is made up by local members and supported by many different services, one of which being Caerphilly youth service who work at street level in the community and support local policing teams dealing with anti social behaviour, this is the main concern for local residents.

What do you plan to use the CommunityForce award for?

In the middle of the estate is a large field which has in the past had funding to create a skate park and children play area. Due to its location this field is surrounded by houses, which causes areas of vast darkness in the winter months meaning the field is not used, and parents concerned over safety. The funds offered would be used to create adequate lighting and fencing to make the area safe and secure so it can be used the whole 12 months of the year.

THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS

By JOHN BUNYAN

AS I walked through the wilderness of this world I lighted on a certain place where was a Den and laid me down to sleep. As I slept I dreamed a dream. I saw a man clothed with rags, a book in his hand, and a burden on his back. Reading in the book, he broke out with a cry: “What shall I do to be saved?”
