Ffald y Brenin retreat house in Wales

Ffald y Brenin is a retreat centre in far-flung west Wales. In recent years, the community living, working and praying there have seen hundreds of remarkable miracles, and have learnt what it looks like to bless your local community so powerfully in prayer that the local economy strengthens, society changes and lives are transformed. Roy and Daphne Godwin, who lead the Ffald y Brenin community, have released two books telling the story (“The Grace Outpouring” and “The Way of the Blessing”).
Daphne is bringing a small team to Canterbury next weekend, and there are a couple of ways you can meet them and hear some of their stories:

Half-night of Prayer at the New Life Church Hub, Roper Close, CT2 7EP
7:00pm till midnight Friday 10th Feb (come for any or all of it) – Daphne and her team will share stories of what God has been doing in their communities in Wales, and then they’ll help us pray blessing for Canterbury.

Healing on the Streets, Best Lane
11:30am-1:30pm Saturday 11th – Daphne and the team will be joining the HOTS Team to pray for people in Canterbury city centre.

10:30am Sunday 12th – Daphne will be speaking at Canterbury Vineyard, Canterbury Academy, Knight Avenue, CT2 8QA

The Organ

Posted on 12 September, 201312 September, 2013 by Stephen Barker

Over recent times you may have noticed more and more strange noises coming from the organ — notes sticking or playing when they should not, and some which are not playing at all (not always Steve playing the wrong notes!). Our organ will be 50 years old next year, and like any piece of mechanical or electrical equipment is in need of an overhaul and modernisation. There is a meeting to which anyone with an interest in the music of our parish is invited this coming Friday at 7 p.m. to explain the proposed works, with the opportunity to ask questions. At the end of the meeting the PCC will decide how to proceed. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
