On Friday 27th August, from 7pm onward, we will be holding the next in our regular monthly series of evenings of quiet worship and listening. Sanctuary takes places in Penrallt.
Maybe a song, maybe a reading, maybe some quiet music, maybe a word... certainly quiet space for listening to God.
Develop your listening to the Holy Spirit in a quiet atmosphere without pressure, in a sympathetic environment. There will be prayer support as may be needed.
A Saturday evening service at Penrallt run by and for young people, ENW is aimed at anyone aged 11-18. It is a relaxed, informal space to worship God and chill out.
The next ENW will be on Saturday 2nd October. Doors open at 6:30pm and the service itself runs from 7 to 8pm, followed by food and a chance to chat. The service will include games, prayer activities, a short talk and LOUD music. Please contact our youth worker, Freya, if you would like more information.
On (usually) the first Sunday afternoon of each month, a small team from Penrallt goes over to the nursing home at Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon, to lead a short service for the residents, starting at 2:15pm. You are very welcome to join us. We are particularly in need of musicians and Welsh speakers.
The next service at Bontnewydd is due to take place on Sunday 1st August. Please check with the church office to confirm that it is happening; also contact the office if you would like more information about the service.
811 is a new event for those aged between 8 and 11. It is held in Canolfan Penrallt on a Saturday afternoon and includes live music, games, activities, a talk and prayer. The first two events took place this summer and the next one will be some time in the autumn. Watch this space for a date.
Once a month, the men of Penrallt have a chance to meet together to pray for one another. The meeting usually takes place on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:30am in the Twrgwyn Room at Penrallt. It lasts for about 45 minutes. After we have prayed, we go across the road for a cup of coffee.
The next Prayer & Panad meeting will be on Wednesday 4th August.
Penrallt's Variety Performance will be taking place on Saturday 17th July from 7:30pm. All of the money raised will go to Careforce. It will feature the talented members of our congregation and all are invited to perform their talent or to come and watch on the night! Tickets will be priced at £4 for adults, £3 concessions and £2 under 18's. If you wish to take part please see Freya or contact her at youth@penrallt.org.
The Tehilla worship event that was due to take place on Saturday 19th June has been postponed as several key members of the group would be unable to make it. A new date has not yet been confirmed - watch this space for more information.
To mark Carers' Week, Penrallt is holding a special service on Sunday morning, 13th June, at 10:30am in which we will acknowledge the work and commitment of those who care for others. If you are a carer for someone, you are especially welcome to our service.
All are welcome to join with Penrallt's musicians and singers on Saturday 19th June at 7:30pm as they come together for an evening of informal musical worship and prayer, to praise, explore new material and to seek God's face for the future - this event has been christened Tehilla, which is a Hebrew word for an act of spontaneous praise that God inhabits, thus there is no set format for the evening! Come prepared to share, sing, pray, or simply rest in God's presence.
"Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." — Psalm 33:3
We have relaunched our Friday evening youth activities with Revolution, a youth group for 12-18 year olds meeting on alternate Friday evenings in Canolfan Penrallt from 7:30 to 10pm (although you don't have to stay until the end).
The first two events, in March 2010, were a musical evening (featuring Penrallt's newest band, Children of the Revolution and contributions from some of our students) and a games evening (with computer games on a large screen).
After a short Easter break, Revolution will continue with the following events before the summer holiday:
