Eglwsi Eraill ~ Other Churches
We join in with united services in our communities and share in special projects such as Taizé services, Christian Aid collections, Good Friday services, Whitsun March of Witness & Open Air Songs of Praise. We consider ourselves to be in good fellowship with all the local Christian churches in the valley and support what the Lord is doing through their ministry and witness.
There are regular joint services and prayer meetings and we collaborate closely with other churches in children's work and seeking God’s vision together. In 2009 we began an on-going project in Glynneath to encourage our congregations in sharing our faith.
We are connected to world mission organisation CMS and support David and Shelly Stokes who are going to work alongside the local church in Northern Argentina at the end of 2010.
We have ongoing support for Reach for Rwanda who support reconciliation in the country and also overseas aid mission work through Tearfund.
We have had youth workers with us from India and Uganda, and have hosted overseas Christians in the parish. Our diocese is linked with a Lutheran diocese in Sweden, Uppsala and we've hosted visitors from there. In September 2009 we hosted Revd. Sunil Mankhin, now bishop in Bangladesh.
For harvest 2009 we sent 106 shoeboxes of gifts for children in Eastern Europe as part of the Samaritan Purse's Operation Christmas Child appeal.
