An enormous THANK YOU to everyone who supported The Friends of Capel Coelbren coffee morning earlier today - we raised £446 towards church projects. A special thank you must go to Julie and Elaine G who served refreshments for most of the time, allowing Elaine W and myself to welcome visitors and circulate. A big thank you also to Bishop John for attending, and Canon Tim and Fr Gary. We'll have to think of something special for our next event now!

CONFIRMATION has been received from the Bishop's office that he will be with us tomorrow, Saturday 13 June, as planned. So, cakes are either baked or currently in the oven! Rosalind will be here with a choice of wonderful homemade jams, marmalades, chutneys and pickles. There's also a fun quiz ... for adults or children ... and plants for sale. There are just three books left on Capel Coelbren by the late Willie Davies - just £5 each. LATEST NEWS - we now take card payments!
* ALL WELCOME - WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU *
