It took place in the Cathedral of St Asaph on Saturday 5 th Janu- ary. Daniel and Lara were graciously given permission by Bishop Gregory to use the Baptismal liturgy of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. The service was a joyous mixture of solemn sac- rament and family cele- bration. Lara baptised Henry, Daniel celebrat- ed the Eucharist and the family of the Bro Famau churches were joined by Lara and Daniel’s family, travelling from the United States and Europe. It was a very happy occasion which ended with tea and cake in the cathedral. Everyone who attended felt blessed to have been part of a truly special day. 3 LETTER FROM THE CURATE Dear Friends Well after what always seems to be the longest month of the year thankfully we have started to see the spring flowers poking their heads out for the earth. I always feel this is a time of hope, a time to look forward to less dark nights ( or most afternoons in some parts of the Bro Famau area), and welcome a sense of God’s renewing presence with us. But this of course is the start of a busy time for our farming com- munities welcoming in the spring with new births and often the threat of colder nights and frost or snow appearing. As the church, we celebrate God in creation , our God who brings new life and new hope to us all. Our churches have begun a course called “Leading your Church into Growth”. We are looking at ways we can grow in numbers, spiritual depth and in our outreach to the community. I have been encouraged by the response to seeking new ways to celebrate church, to develop new life and us being able to look to a hope of transformation as we reach out in our communities. In all the churches there have been good responses over Christmas to the many services that took place, and for those who took part in organising, decorating the churches and providing food and drinks. This was very much appreciated by everyone who attended. There is also new birth in the Messy Church held each month. This offers family fun and there is always lovely food to share. Starting also this month will be the opening of Wellfield Farm for 4 homeless people and as a thank you for all those who have supported this project there will be a celebratory event on Sun- day 24th February 3pm at Northop Hall church Hall. Diolch yn fawr Rev Kathy Stewart 4 DIOCESAN LENT COURSE The Church in Wales has developed a Lent Course which we will follow from around Ash Wednesday through Lent and Holy Week, and unusually, on to Ascension and Pentecost. Exact dates and times will follow, but there will be an afternoon session in St Mary’s Cilcain and an evening one at Christchurch Pontblyddn. The title is ‘ Generosity and the Inheritance of Lent,’ and the subject is our attitude to generosity of spirit as an aspect of Christian disci- pleship. There is a course booklet, which is fully bilingual and can be seen at: https://dioceseofbangor.contentfiles.net/media/documents/ document/2018/12/Haelioni_a_Gwaddol_y_Grawys.pdf It can also be accessed via a link in the Bishop’s Ad Clerum on the Church in Wales/ St Asaph website. Copies of the booklet will be made available soon. Further details will be advertised in our churches as soon as we have them.

( Luke 2:22 -40 ) Many Christian traditions hold this occasion as a feast -day, and it is variously known as Purification of the Virgin, Meeting of the Lord, and in our own and other traditions, Candlemas. You can see that there are different strands of belief running through the story; one is that Jesus was brought into the Temple to be welcomed by his religious community; another that the prophecies held in the Jewish Scriptures that the Messiah would come to his Temple were realised; also that his mother Mary came for the rite of Purification forty days after the birth of her male child. ( This rite was held at the same time as the Presen- tation.) By this time in his young life Jesus had already experienced the rite of circumcision, on the eighth day after birth. In those Churches which celebrate it, ( which does not include the Church in Wales ) it is called The Feast of the Naming and Circumcision of Jesus. This is because under Jewish law it is also when a Jewish boy receives his name. We have celebrated the Baptism of Jesus, on 13th January, done by his own choice, not under Jewish law, when he was an adult. Most of us receive our name at our baptism when we are infants; because of Je- sus’ baptism and sanctification by God and the Holy Spirit, bap- tism is a primary Christian sacrament. ( Luke 3:15 -22 ) So we have several events in the life of the infant Jesus which have come to us from Jewish practice, or in the case of baptism, institution by John the Baptist as a repentance for sins. The Presentation in the Temple is the last, which completed his membership of Jewish religion, and his mother, Mary also had become purified under the Law after his birth. Why then is it called Candlemas, when in some churches all the candles to be used during the year are blessed? 8 There are two connections. One is that the Light of the World, Jesus, has now come into the world and another with the Virgin Mary. Church candles traditionally contain beeswax because the queen bee was thought in early times to be a virgin insect since she mates high in the sky, away from human view. In very early Christian churches candles were made of pure beeswax, but it does not remain rigid in warmer temperatures, leading to bendy candles, so it was mixed with more stable waxes; these days the amount can be as low as 3%, though the Roman Cath- olic Church insists on 50% beeswax for most liturgical purposes. Candles used in church are therefore a reminder that the grace given to the Blessed Virgin remains with us. In baptism the priest ( or any Christian in an emergency ) signs the forehead of the candidate with a cross which is an invisible mark that the person belongs to Christ and is a member of the Christian Church.

This review is part of the programme of reviews being conducted under the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013, and follows the principles contained in the Commission’s Policy and Practice document. The issue of fairness is at the heart of the Commission’s statutory responsibilities. The Commission’s objective has been to make recommendations that provide for effective and convenient local government, and which respect, as far as possible, local community ties. The recommendations are aimed at improving electoral parity, so that the vote of an individual elector has as equal a value to those of other electors throughout the County, so far as it is possible to achieve. The Commission is grateful to the Members and Officers of Denbighshire County Council for their assistance in its work, to the community and town councils for their valuable contributions, and to all who have made representations throughout the process.

This collection consists of material received from a Wrexham solicitor, relating to his personal and business affairs, and to some of his clients. The bulk of S.P.Bevon's personal papers consist of correspondence about properties he owned in Wrexham, and reports and prospectuses of various mining and plantation concerns abroad, in which he owned shares. There is no autobiographical material. The rest of the collection has been sorted into sequence by parish, with separate sections for court cases and election papers, as there is no large quantity of material relating to an individual client. Perhaps the most interesting item is a photograph showing the range of products made by Ewloe Potteries, Buckley, in the 1920s. Other interesting subjects include Ffos-y-go Colliery, Gwersyllt, 1901-4; the appointment of a receiver for the New Llangollen Slate and Slab Company. 1898-1903; prospectus of Broughton Hall Iron Company, c.1890; complaints about conditions at Croesnewydd Military Hospital, Wrexham, 1917; and a dispute over building costs of a new church at Brynteg, 1894-5.

    Protecting the Water Vole Conservation efforts in the Clwydian Range Where the hills meet the sea Countryside a stone’s throw away from the coast A Guide to the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Welcome to ‘Capturing the Clwydian Range’ Welcome to the latest edition of Capturing the Clwydian Range, the definitive guide for those looking to learn more about the history, attractions and beauty of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The AONB stretches from its northern edge at Prestatyn, down the spine of Flintshire and Denbighshire to the outskirts of Ruthin and Mold, taking in numerous countryside communities that all add a unique quality to the Clwydian Range. The hills can be seen from far and wide, from the North West of Wales and from the Cheshire Plains and the populated areas of Wirral and Merseyside. It’s not a surprise that over half a million of visitors make the journey to the Clwydian Range for that special day out or a holiday in one of Wales’ most naturally scenic areas. There are many organisations involved in managing and protecting the Clwydian Range for future generations. The hills are steeped in history, rich geology and wildlife which needs protecting. This cannot be done without the support of local landowners, businesses, visitors and volunteers. So what is there to do and see in the Clwydian Range? For a start there are country parks at Loggerheads and Moel Famau that offer miles upon miles of interesting walks, activities for the whole family and contents opportunities for volunteering.

Agenda Items The Chair and Clerk had technical problems joining the meeting, so Cllr Armstrong opened the meeting. He put forward a motion to start with Burley Hill Quarry as a discrete item until the Chair and Clerk were able to join the meeting. This was agreed. Cllr Armstrong then welcomed Hannah Parish Aggregates officer for Flintshire and Denbighshire CC and asked her to begin her presentation. Hannah began by stating that she didn’t have a presentation as such but wanted to outline the process. She stated that the Scoping Study related to what may need to be considered in the Environmental Statement as part of any planning application to extend the life of the quarry. DCC would review the scoping request and consult with relevant experts, both internal and external. Hannah also stated that the 20 plus residents’ views on the Planning Portal had highlighted a misunderstanding in that the scoping request could not be rejected although the comments would be taken on board.

  • Pub Is the Hub Case Study
    Pub is the Hub Case Study DRUID INN, LLANFERRES, DENBIGHSHIRE, CH7 5SN BACKGROUND The Druid is a Marstons lease property run by James and Julie Dolan, located on the main road between Ruthin and Mold, at the edge of the small village of Llanferres near the Clwydian range, close to Offa’s Dyke in Denbighshire. The pub is the only service in the village, together with a school and a church. The pub provides services for both the community and visitors to the area. The village and hinterland has only partial Broadband connectivity and therefore many local people cannot access the Internet. They also have to travel to around 5 miles into the nearest centres to access public services and information. The area also attracts many visitors each year and the pub, which employs over ten local people and uses a range of local suppliers, has been able to develop new services that will help with sustainability. PROJECT SUMMARY The project has provided a broadband Internet connection for the pub, together with a public access point, consisting of a computer and printer. The broadband also provides free of charge community Wi-Fi access so that local people can bring their laptops into the pub. The free internet provision is available to the community from 8.00am – 11.00pm, seven days a week. OUTCOMES Since the installation, the new Wi-Fi service has been welcomed by the local community who use both the Wi-Fi and the access point to carry out many essential online activities, which have included access to local authority information and central government services such as Job Centres.
