Services & events in the Ministry Area in November
3 November
As ever there is a warm welcome for the Joint Ministry Area Service on Sunday November 3rd which will be at St. Ffraid’s at 11am. Assistant Bishop of Bangor, David, will be joining us for our worship and we look forward to welcoming him. Also Rev. George Bearwood will be licensed as Associate Pioneer Priest in the Bro Cybi Ministry Area during this service.
This will be the only service in the Ministry Area that day.
10 November – Remembrance Sunday
Because St Cybi in Holyhead is currently closed due to Reordering, the service of Remembrance will be held at Holyhead Town Hall at 10 am.
We will all then join together at the Cenotaph in Holyhead for 11am.
These will be the only service in the Ministry Area on this day.
Our 10 am Wednesday midweek Communion Service at Ysgol Cybi. Please park in the Visitor Car Park opposite the school for this service.
The LBD (Lunchtime Bible Discussion) meeting will resume on every Tuesday 12 noon at St. Ffraid’s Hall. This meeting is for one hour and discusses the readings for the following week.

STONEWORK REPAIRS
St Cybi’s Church, Holyhead, have been granted funding for significant repairs, costing over £250,000 to preserve the stonework, including important carvings, at St Cybi’s Church, Holyhead, which are being damaged by erosion and pollution.
The Church is pleased to announce, subject to a successful round two grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, it has now secured the necessary funding and authorities to start the work in the early part of 2019.
Funding has been provided by Heritage Lottery Fund (£158,500), W G Roberts Fund (£30,000), Garfield Weston Foundation (£10,0000), James Pantyfedwen Foundation (£5,000) Allchurches Trust (£3,000) and the Representative Body of the Church in Wales (£3,000). These grants will help to preserve the church, and important part of the town and local community for generations to come.
