Morning coffee

A coffee morning is held in the church hall (adjoining the church) each Wednesday from 10.00 am - 1.30 pm. Fairtrade tea and coffee and home made cakes are served, as well as homemade soup and light lunches.

During the summer, Afternoon Teas are held on Tuesdays. We are looking for someone to run the Afternoon Teas in 2010. If you can help, please contact the Rector.

Cytûn Julian Group

The Julian Group meets on the first Tuesday of each month. We meet at 10 am at Stella Maris. We are an ecumenical group which practices shared silent prayer. Our meetings begin with a short introduction given by a different member of the group each month, which is designed to lead us into a time of silence. Each person present uses the silence to pray in his her own way, but we are conscious that our silence before God is a shared experience. After the prayer time the leader for that month brings us out of silence with aconcluding prayer and then we enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a chat. Do join us, you would be most welcome and you might discover a new dimension to your life of prayer.

The is one of a network of similar groups meeting together throughout the country for meditation named after the medieval mystic Julian of Norwich, groups made up of Christians from various denominations and backgrounds.
Fr. John

Organ Recital 3 February

To celebrate my 75th birthday in February, I have been invited to play again at Chester Cathedral on the 18th March. I thought it would be a good idea to give the programme a trial run at Holy Trinity, which I did on Wednesday the 3rd February at 8.00 am.

Thank you to those who came to join me and to have a glass of wine in the hall afterwards. The programme took about 45 minutes and there was no charge.

Worship at St Tudno's in 2010

The season of Sunday services at St Tudno's is from the end of May till the end of September but it is possible to worship there throughout the year. On most Saturday mornings at 9.00 am, a small group gathers to say the office of Morning Prayer and then to spend 20 minutes or so in silent prayer together. You are welcome to join us and it is a wonderful experience to have this time of prayer in such a holy place. During Summer the church is open every day and during winter the church is open on Saturdays, Sundays, bank holidays and Wednesdays, weather permitting.
