St Bridget's Church

September is that time of the year that I always think of as new starts, new beginnings and re starting. This is probably because for many recent years with my children attending school, it was just that, a new class or a new school. And as they got older and they started to leave education, I then started my Priest training, so every year in September continued to be another new year.

Again parents will be saying goodbye to their youngsters, as they set off to school, college or university. Be this new or back to the same place where they were last year. Let us remember to “Seek God’s will in all you do and He will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:6). If we seek the Lord, He will guide us and help us.

Sorry everyone, God’s not going to do your homework or complete that assignment for you! Like talking to a friend, praying can help us to be less fretful or scared about things as they come up and bang into our lives. And prayer may come in many forms; words, music, silence, pictures, books, icons. It’s up to you. My prayer for you all is that everyone has a good time as we step into the Autumn.

We thank God for all that is good in life, and may we feel that He is with us when things get tough, amen.

This year September is not just a new start, but a new event. The local Churches are holding a month-long festival “Seeing Môr”. Events are taking place all over the Mission Area and Ss Bridget and Cwyfan’s is no exception. There’s information at the Church about what’s going on elsewhere.

“Openings to Heaven” is a look at icons and how they help with prayers and connecting us to the Lord. From 23rd to 28th September in the Church, and on Wednesday 25th Bishop Gregory, will be coming to talk to us about his work painting icons. Free entry. Please pop in and have a look at this ancient art, set in one of the oldest churches in the Diocese. I look forward to seeing you there.

God bless you all

Fr Adrian
