Travel survey for Eco Church: last Sunday we asked everyone how they had travelled to church that day. Thank you to all who kindly took part! These were the results including all the day’s services: Car: 63% Car share: 8% Bus: 1% Walk: 27% Cycle: 1% It was a half term Sunday and a wild wet morning, which will have affected the figures. We hope to repeat the survey on a summer Sunday in better weather to see how much difference there is!

Lent Lunch – Thank you to all those who have volunteered to organise the Lunches this year. Please note that the Lent Lunch will be on Tuesdays in Lent, preceded by the Eucharist which will be at 12 noon (instead of 10.00 am) for the duration of the season. The first Lunch is on Tuesday 3rd March.

Lent Appeal 2020 - the focus of this year’s Lent Appeal will be the Church in Centenary Fund. This has been launched to support two charities – one at home, and one overseas – to mark 100 years of the Church in Wales. The Appeal aims to raise at least £100,000 over the next five years for Housing Justice Cymru and Christian Aid. Envelopes will be available as usual from the beginning of Lent.

Llandaff Parish Mothers’ Union - At our meeting on Monday 2nd March we will hear about St Cadoc from Prof. Kevin Mills. Refreshments after the talk will be served, a raffle drawn and Bric a Brac and books will be for sale. Prospective members and visitors are welcome at our meetings.

Christian Aid Week 10-16th May 2020 – We are appealing for people to join our team of house-to-house collectors in Christian Aid Week. At present we don’t have enough collectors to cover the whole parish. We will supply you with everything you need for the collection. All we need from you is the willingness to help. If you are interested in volunteering then please sign the list on the table at the back of the Nave. If you would like some more information please contact Kate Bates at [email protected].

Fairtrade Fortnight – On Sunday 8th March there will be an opportunity to buy Fairtrade goods at Parish Breakfast and at coffee after the 11am service. The stall will be provided by “Fair do’s,” from Canton. It would be great to provide this monthly; if anyone could volunteer to help with this please speak to Canon Jan.

The Pound by the Bishops Castle, will be open today from 10am-3pm for the public to view the progress, meet the professionals and Llandaff 50+ volunteers.
