If you abide in me and I abide in you, you will bear much fruit. ” John 15: 5 Our mission is to know Christ and to make him known Our link with the Parish of Llantrisant, Wales began in 2003. I was on Parish Council and at a meeting a letter was read from the Diocese of Rockhampton asking if anyone from our Parish was interested in becoming the correspondent and forming a link with the Parish of Llantrisant. As we had been to Wales in our travels, I put up my hand and so began a wonderful email friendship with Aud Morris and the Parish of Llantrisant. In May 2004 my husband Trevor, daughter Susan and I visited and stayed with Aud and her husband Phil. We visited the church and met Reverend Viv and many parishioners. Several other families from the Callide Valley Parish have visited. We exchange church magazines and ask that prayers be said for people and events in our Parishes.
