Risca Forest Church

28/10/2023

A quick reminder about tomorrow's Forest Church. Please note that we're meeting at 4.00 not the usual 3.00 and remember to bring a jam jar 👍

This October we once again return to the Cwmcarn Forest Drive where we held last year's Halloween and All Saints gathering. As we've done for the last few years, bring a jam jar with you so that we can make tea light lanterns.
Please note that we are meeting at 4.00 so that the light will be dimming by the time we finish and our lanterns will glow all the brighter.

A quick reminder about tomorrow's Forest Church at the Gaer.
The weather should be fine but the ground might be muddy due to all the rain this week, so please wear appropriate footwear.

After a break over the Summer, Risca Forest Church is returning on Sunday 24th September to celebrate Michaelmas and the Autumnal Equinox. We've met at the Gaer a few times before, it is a great place for a gathering but please beware that the ground is uneven, so wear your walking boots.

The next Forest Church will be at 2.00 on Boxing Day. We had a gathering last year on Boxing Day and there was a very good turnout, so we thought we would do the same again this year. As this walk is along the canal we will be holding it as a mobility friendly Forest Church. Come along as we celebrate Christmas and the Winter Solstice.

On Sunday 30th October we will be celebrating Halloween and All Saints Day at the Cwmcarn Forest Drive. Bring a jam jar along as we will be making tea light lanterns.
