St Peters Summer Fair!
Saturday July 16th
 


This year’s theme is Pirates and the Seaside
(Please dress up on the day – prizes for children & adults)
 
The Fair just four weeks away! 
How can everyone help?
We have had very few donations so far – please can you help us to make it a success by considering the following and responding?
 
Please bring in bottles (preferably wine, spirits and beer but others welcome too) for our bottle stall – we need lots to make it a success. Could everyone manage to contribute at least one bottle? 
We need donations of unwanted NEW gifts and toiletries for the gift stall and books in MINT condition. 
The Sunday School are selling GOOD QUALITY pre-loved children’s clothing and toys.
There is a box in the porch for donations of bottles or other goods
The Mothers Union are selling home made cakes & savouries – and have asked for as many of you as possible to get baking as this is always a sell out stall!
Our Prize Draw tickets are available. A big effort by everyone is needed to sell as many tickets as possible! Selling to friends and family is a great way to publicise the event. Please see Yvonne & Ian to get your tickets.
As usual the first prize is £200 cash Yvonne & Ian will also be putting together a variety of good quality prizes and so once again we are asking if you are able to donate cash towards their purchase.  PLEASE don’t just give items as prizes – a limited selection is chosen carefully – and we would not like to offend by refusal.
As usual there will be a range of stalls, competitions and activities, cafe and BBQ – more details to come.
 
This event is a major fundraiser for us – our first since 2019! 
Can you help on the day? - even if you can only come for an hour -  please speak to Debbie, Kirstie, Kate or Jayne


Dear Friends,  
I write with news of the future shape of ministry here in West Cardiff. 
 In the last fortnight I have met with both the Archdeacon and Ministry Area Leader and the news from the diocese is that there is no intention to advertise for a 5th full time priest to join us.  It has been decided that 4 stipendiary (full time) priests plus one part time priest will be our full quota of clergy for the future. 
In practical terms this means that St Peter's will need to share 'their' priest with another church in the MA.  The archdeacon has given Mother Frances and I the opportunity to shape this in a way that we feel best suits our needs.  As a result, from July 2022 I will remain with you as your permanent vicar and I will share my time between St Peter's and St Catherine's, Canton. 
I share with you an apology from Archdeacon Rod that it has taken such a length of time for this news to reach you, and I am sorry for you that promises that were made to you have not been fulfilled.  However, I must say that I am utterly thrilled and 'chuffed to pieces' that I get to stay with you and be your vicar.  In the last year you have all welcomed my family and I into your family and community and I thank God that I get to stay with you, be your pastor, friend and grow together with you in faith, love and hope for our future.  
Please keep me, your church council and that of St Catherines in your prayers as we come together to work out all the practicalities that need to be dealt with. 
Wishing you every blessing, 
                                                               Revd Emma
