North Montgomeryshire Volunteer Centre is organising transport for elderly and vulnerable people to attend their vaccination appointments. Drivers will be vetted, vaccinated, will wear masks and carry ID. Unless you cannot wear a mask for health reasons you'll need to wear one too, and you'll be asked to sit in the back. Please be absolutely certain who you're getting in a car with! The same driver will drive you home and stay with you if needed at the vaccination centre. To ask for transport help, please contact Sharon or Mel on 01938 554484. Phone lines are open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 09:30am-1:30pm. At other times please either leave a message with your name, phone number and the date, time and location of your appointment. You can also email [email protected] Berriew Community Volunteer Support Group The Berriew Community Volunteer Support Group set up at the beginning of the pandemic is still available if anyone needs help with anything. Please ask through the Berriew Community Facebook Page or ask a neighbour or relative to post for you https://www.facebook.com/groups/BerriewCommunityGroup St. Beuno’s Church Berriew We’re still unable to hold services in Church, but it’s good to hear of so many people getting vaccinated. We’re hoping the successful vaccination rollout will enable us to start in church services again soon. As we are unable to gather in person we have put together a package of on-line Lent course options. Details are below, please have a look and choose whichever you think will work best for you. All of the groups started in the first full week of Lent (ie. week beginning 22nd Feb) and will be 6 sessions long, and all of them will be using Zoom, but you’re still welcome to join even if you’ve missed the first session. Zoom is very accessible because you don’t have to download it onto your computer to use it and you can also access it by telephone. It’s interactive too, so you can join in with the conversations, which is great for catching up with people you can’t see at the moment as well as for joining in with discussion. You will need to let us know which group you want to join to get the link for the meetings. Here are your options: Monday evenings at 19.30 ‘Start!’ - Discovering Christianity in small group sessions. Start! is a down-to-earth course to help today’s men and women discover the Christian faith in a small-group setting. The course will be run via ZOOM with PowerPoints. Participants get a workbook to record responses in. Contact Alexis (01686 641992) for more details or to ask for the link. Tuesday evenings at 19.30 ‘Pilgrimage’ – Journeying with God and each other. An existing weekly house group extends a warm welcome to anyone who would like to join with them virtually, to travel together exploring the idea of pilgrimage. Contact Alexis (01686 641992) for more details or to ask for the link. Wednesday morning at 10.00 ‘Give God an hour’ – a beginner’s guide to discipleship. Jesus didn’t call people to believe in him, he called us to follow him. But what does it mean to be a disciple of Christ?’ We’ll be exploring passages of the gospels together to find out. Contact Steve (01938 553164) for more details or to ask for the link. Wednesday evenings at 19.30 ‘Caring for Creation’ – responding to the threats to our environment. The various Churches of Welshpool extend a warm welcome to anyone who would like to join with them virtually for what Church Times calls, “an informative course… which digs deeper into issues, and is particularly good at calling out misplaced Christian attitudes”, Contact Steve (01938 553164) for more details or to ask for the link. Thursday evenings at 19.30 ‘Give God an hour’ – a beginner’s guide to discipleship. Jesus didn’t call people to believe in him, he called us to follow him. But what does it mean to be a disciple of Christ?’ We’ll be exploring passages of the gospels together to find out. Contact Steve (01938 553164) for more details or to ask for the link.

Fron Further to the photograph in last month’s Newsletter of the group taken outside Fron Church , Ursula’s daughter Margaret has contacted me, ( via Elwyn ) to tell me the photograph was taken when Mr Arthur Douglas, Ursula’s father donated the blue carpet in the chancel in memory of his wife, Ursula Douglas in 1958. Margaret also told me that she and her grandfather had painted the railings around the church and planted many daffodils and snowdrops in his wife’s memory. Mr and Mrs Arthur Douglas kept the Talbot Inn in Berriew many years ago. Ursula and her husband Emrys lived at Severn Villa, Fron for many years and Ursula and her family played a prominent part in the life of the Fron Church and Community. Helen B PENTRE LLIFIOR METHODIST CHAPEL, BERRIEW. SY21 8QJ ALL DETAILS SUBJECT TO CHANGE as the Covid-19 situation demands. Like our Facebook - Pentre Llifior Methodist Chapel - page to be kept up-to-date Hello everyone, As I write, mid-February, for the March edition, we are still in the grip of winter but willing Spring to emerge upon us at its earliest opportunity. The Chapel remains temporarily closed due to Covid, something we could not have predicted six months ago, and so we are exploring different ways to worship with our home worship sheets and more recently, experimenting with Zoom and the possibilities that opens up for us. Meeting via the Zoom platform is a new learning process for most of us at Pentre Llifior and as we become more familiar with and confident using it, we hope to be able to open up this avenue for others who may like to join us for a virtual coffee morning, Bacon Buddies (you’ll have to cook your own of course) and worship. For the time being, as has become the norm, our home worship sheets are available for all and these can be accessed each week via our Circuit website. Please go to:- www.whbmethodists.org.uk and click on “latest news”. This will display the sheet for the current week with the contributors name at the top of the page. Please do feel free to enjoy using these. Even though Spring is around the corner, my 6am morning walks are still taking place in the dark at the moment. During these, I very often hear the sound of the countryside’s nocturnal animals as they return to their homes from their nigh-time forays. One of the regular sounds is that of a couple of owls having a “conversation”. The first lets out a rather low, deep hoot then, after a short delay, the second will respond with a much higher pitched hoot. I suspect the first is more elderly than the second, perhaps an “old timer” checking that the younger is home safe or maybe offering advice. They live in different copses, separated by several fields, and the “conversation” goes on, being repeated 3 or 4 times before falling silent. Listening to this brings to mind the story of the calling of Samuel in the Old Testament (1 Samuel ch. 3). Samuel believes that it is Eli, the priest, calling him and goes to him answering “I heard you call, here I am”. This happens three times before the elderly Eli realises that it is actually God who is calling Samuel. When he does, he instructs Samuel to respond to the next call by saying “Speak God. I am your servant, ready to listen”. (The Message – 1 Sam ch.3 v.9). Samuel does as Eli advises, follows God’s instructions and goes on to be one of the great prophets and leaders of the Israelite nation.
