  • Dyffryn Clwyd Mission Area
    Dyffryn Clwyd Mission Area Application Pack: November 2019 The Diocese of St Asaph In the Diocese of St Asaph or Teulu Asaph, we’re • Growing and encouraging the whole people of God • Enlivening and enriching worship • Engaging the world We’re a family of more than 7,000 regular worshippers, with 80 full time clergy, over 500 lay leaders, 216 churches and 51 church schools. We trace our history to the days of our namesake, St Asaph and his mentor, St Kentigern who it’s believed built a monastery in St Asaph in AD 560. Many of the churches across the Diocese were founded by the earliest saints in Wales who witnessed to Christian faith in Wales and have flourished through centuries of war, upheaval, reformation and reorganisation. Today, the Diocese of St Asaph carries forward that same Mission to share God’s love to all in 21th Century north east and mid Wales. We’re honoured to be a Christian presence in every community, to walk with people on the journey of life and to offer prayers to mark together the milestones of life. Unlocking our Potential is the focus of our response to share God’s love with people across north east and mid Wales. Unlocking our Potential is about bringing change, while remaining faithful to the life-giving message of Jesus. It’s about challenging, inspiring and equipping the whole people of God to grow in their faith. Geographically, the Diocese follows the English/Welsh border in the east, whilst the western edge is delineated by the Conwy Valley.

  • Councillor Merfyn Parry, Denbighshire County Council Received This Letter a Few Days Prior to Publishing This Edition of Llais Llandyrnog Voice
    Councillor Merfyn Parry, Denbighshire County Council received this letter a few days prior to publishing this edition of Llais Llandyrnog Voice. Dear Cllr Parry, I am writing to let you know some news about our Llandyrnog site in North Wales. As you know, we took the decision two years ago to mothball the facility following a strategic re-evaluation of our cheese operations. Since then we have kept the situation under constant review before making any decisions about the future of the From a once-busy creamery ... site. We have now decided that the right course of action is to prepare to dispose of the site. The way that our business has developed since 2018 means that this is the correct decision for Arla Foods and our farmer owners. As you know, the site has been operating with a skeleton staff since 2018, so this change will in fact lead to only one colleague leaving the business. Instead, we hope that the site will be freed up for alternative uses, which in turn should create many new jobs and opportunities locally. We will shortly be asking for professional support to take us through the sales process and I wanted to make sure you knew about this news before it becomes public knowledge. We will keep you informed as the process develops. Yours sincerely, Ash Amirahmadi Managing Director ... to the overgrown site of today Arla Foods UK Christmas Packing made a return this year. There were two lines, both of which were gift packs sold at Sainsbury’s. One was cheddar and whisky and the other port and stilton, both of which were packed in an organza bag.

  • Three Tours of Beautiful Historic Churches in the Vale of Clwyd
    THREE TOURS OF BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC CHURCHES IN THE VALE OF CLWYD In 2016 the Cambrians had a wonderful week in the Vale of Clwyd, staying in Ruthin. This area has a wealth of fascinating historic churches filled with wood-carving of the highest quality, and the greatest surviving collection of late mediaeval stained glass in Wales. Marie-Thérèse Castay, our Gascon Bard, was in the party and took a very fine series of photographs, so we thought it would be good to share these on the web and to provide a virtual guide to these churches which will bring memories for those Cambrians who were on the trip, and inspiration for others to visit them when travelling is once more allowed. The text is taken from the programme booklet. The three tours cover: 1. the rich valley-bottom between Ruthin and Denbigh; 2. the northern tip of Flintshire between Dyserth and Holywell, the great pilgrimage centre; and 3. the area in the Clwydian Hills around Mold. Tour 1. Ruthin, Llanynys, Llanrhaeadr and St Marcella Whitchurch (near Denbigh ) The Parish Church of St Peter, Ruthin stands at the northern end of the ridge. The church was begun by the de Greys in about 1282 as a simple chapel, but was re-established in 1310 as a colle- giate parish church served by Augustinian ‘Bonhommes’ who lived a semi-monastic life in the contemporary (but now much altered) domestic buildings abutting the north side. There are some notable monuments in the church: frag- ments of two 14th century effigies are the earliest.
