New Year – new Vicarage. 

The new Vicarage in Hendrefoilan Park has now been finished; however, our plans to 

move in at the end of the month have been put on hold. There is quite a long list of 

snagging issues i.e. minor defects in construction that need to be put right before we 

are able to move in. So for the end of January, read the end of February (perhaps!). 

Thanks for help and support through all of the Christmas services. 

Canon Phillip would like to thank everyone who 

worked so hard in preparing for our Christmas 

services. From our contractor and his team, to the 

scaffolders, to the Fire Service in helping to put up 

the external Christmas tree; to the group of men who 

put the tree back up after the wind snapped it’s 

trunk; to our organists, choristers, some of which helped at various services in 

Singleton hospital; to Roger Rees who designed and produced our publicity material – 

and to the merry band at St.Martin’s who leafleted the neighbouring streets; to 

Gregory and Eileen and those who helped clean the church after the works; to the 

flower arrangers and those who decorated the churches so beautifully. A special thank 

you to all who prepared St.Martin’s for what was a magically intimate candle-lit carol 

service; to Margaret Draisey who sang and her grand-daughter Jessica who played the 

violin – truly a community event, in a packed church. Anyone who came along to any 

of our Christmas services would have seen the church family at it’s best. Well done – 

and thank you for your continued support and help. 

God’s New Year’s honours list 

We are all familiar with the Queen's New Year’s honours list, celebrating those who 

have made a significant contribution to public life. In 2017 famous names included 

Andy Murray, Mo Farah, Ken Dodd, Patricia Routledge, Angela Rippon and Victoria 

Beckham. However, what would God's New Year’s honours list look like? In 1 Sam. 

2:30 God says, ‘Those who honour me I will honour’. In this New Year, how can we 

honour God in our lives? 

Honouring God means giving Him reverence, submission, and obedience; the 

complete surrender of our entire lives to His glory and loving service: ‘in view of God’s 

mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your 



true and proper worship.’ (Romans 12:1). So, we might honour God this year in five 

key areas: 

My Time: how can I use my time to glorify God (Colossians 4:5)? 

My Gifts: how am I using my God-given gifts and abilities in His service (Matthew 

25:14-30)? 

My Body: in what ways do I honour God in my body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)? 

My Treasure: who is in charge of my finances (Matthew 6:24)? 

My Heart: how do I honour God, not just outwardly, but from my heart: ‘These people 

come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are 

far from me’ (Isaiah 29:13)? 

Here's a challenge for 2018: When we wake up each day, let’s ask God: ‘How can I 

honour you today? Please help me to honour you with the time, gifts, body, finance, 

and heart that you have given me.’ Jesus Christ gave His life for us, and promises to 

give us the Holy Spirit to help us to serve Him. ‘When the worship is over, let the 

service begin.’ 

The Theology of De-cluttering. 

Forgetting what lies behind, I press on towards the goal. (Phil 3:13). 

2018 – a New Year and a new home. As Sian and I prepare for the move to 

Hendrefoilan Park, and the new Vicarage, having just enjoyed the last Christmas in 

Tycoch Vicarage, we turn our attention to de-cluttering. not something to be taken 

lightly! 

An important aspect of spirituality is to live in the present, without letting the past hold 

you captive, or the future make you anxious. 

But in a house full of clutter, paying close attention to what is immediately in front of 

you may be the last thing you want to do! Heaps of clutter 

demands attention, because it occupies the space you need 

to work in, because it hides the important thing you are 

looking for, because it is difficult to keep clean, because you 

literally risk falling over it and injuring yourself if you don't 

pay attention. 

The desire to clear clutter and live more simply can be strong, 

but people often don't know how to begin. Just throw it all 



away and start again? There may be treasures buried in the junk! (And anyway, 

recycling is more responsible than simple disposal.) 

No matter how the process ends, de-cluttering always begins the same way – we set a 

goal. What are you aiming to achieve? What will be the end result? 

Your goal provides motivation, a sense of purpose when the mess is at its worst. With 

no goal, you might just move stuff from one place to another, without sorting 

through it. One room is cleared, but another is newly cluttered! So, it is better to go 

through things by type – shoes, tools, pans, books, and so on – rather than room by 

room. For example, do you really need 20 pairs of shoes, and eight screwdrivers? If 

your goal is to keep only things you use at least once every year, then the answer 

becomes easier. 

Often clutter is inherited. Although you don't really want it, there is a sense of 

obligation, guilt, or fear of what might happen if you give anything away. So, part of 

your goal could include a change of attitude. Pray you will be able to see things for 

what they really are. Pray for wisdom as you choose what to keep. Pray that you can 

open your hands to let go of what you do not need. Pray for perseverance until your 

goal is reached. Remember that clutter is as much in the mind as in the home. 

Then begin. Gather your possessions into ‘like’ groups, and look at each thing in turn. 

Make positive choices. How will this possession help you to reach your goal? 

Surround yourself with beautiful, useful things that make living in the moment a joy 

and a delight. Take the rest down to the nearest charity shop – where they may well 

go on to light up someone else’s life. 

Your Friend and Vicar 

Canon Phillip 

“I’m the Clutter Fairy. I’ll come back … 

I’m gonna need a much bigger wand!”

Parish News 

We pray for those who are ill at home, in hospitals or nursing homes. Our 

thoughts are also with those who are caring for them. Phyllis Harris, Emlyn 

Bawden, Joan Dobbs, Graham Treharne, David Cox now in Morriston Hospital, 

Eve Chriswick, Daisy Williams, Eunice Miron, Fr. Roy Blewett (was hospitalised 

but now at home), Gerry Harris (in Morriston Hospital). 

We are pleased to see Tom Cole in church over the Christmas period - we were 

also pleased to see Julie looking so relieved to have him with her. 

We have just received the sad news of the death of David Morgan Lay Reader. David has been a 

faithful, loyal servant to many vicars, serving and retired, of our Parish and also many other 

Parishes in the area. 

Service of Thanksgiving for the life of David Morgan (Lay Reader) 

At the request of the family, David’s Funeral Service will take place at Llanelli Crematorium at 12 

noon on Monday 15 th January, and will be conducted by Revd. Canon Ian Rees (Diocesan Warden 

of Lay Readers). In light of the fact that there is to be no service in St.Hilary’s, Canon Phillip will be 

holding a Eucharist of Celebration of David Morgan’s life and ministry early next month, please 

watch for date in Weekly Newsletters shortly. This service will be on a Sunday morning, and the 

Vicar appeals for those who wish to contribute in any way to this service to get in touch with him. 

 

I would like to thank the Church Family and friends for the sincere messages of sympathy, 

telephone calls, flowers, cards and visits received on the sudden death of my sister Carole. 

Your support at this very sad time was greatly appreciated and helped to ease my pain as I tried to 

support and ease the pain and shock of Carole's family. 

Glenys Hall 

 

PCC meeting held on 5 October 2017, (extract of salient points) 

Parish Share Consultation - new ways of apportioning the Parish Share were discussed; the 3 

modules outlined were badly flawed and unacceptable. A further meeting is scheduled with the 

Dioceses Board of Finance. 

Ministry Area Mother & Toddlers Group - a proposal to initiate a group for the Parish of Killay with 

the assistance of a paid Leader from the Parish of Sketty, no cost to the Parish. 

Formal Inauguration of Clyne Trinity Ministry Area at St Paul’s Sketty. Hopeful that the second 

stage would be held in the Parish of Killay. 

Christian Teaching with young people (Dunvant Rugby Football Club) - the vicar outlined his and 

Sian’s intention, with the help of the DRFC committee to hold a Sunday morning service at the 

Club with the young people. 



Fabric/Building Sub committee held on 2 November 2017 (extract of salient points) 

Health & Safety - All special events, concerts, fetes should have a risk assessment completed by 

the organiser. 

Exterior lighting around Church and Parish Centre to be improved, quote accepted. 

St Martin’s - roof slate replaced, window frame is badly rusted and in need of repair. 

Working Party to continue clearance at side of Parish Centre. 

News from the Lunch Club 

We had a very busy year in the Lunch Club as it 

appears to be getting more popular. We now have 33 

members coming along for lunch every week and also 

have a waiting list of people who would like to join us. We would love to say yes to everybody 

but it would be unfair on the kitchen staff who work so hard preparing these meals every week, 

as we are all volunteers. 

Our first celebration was 1st March on St David’s Day, when we decorated the tables with the 

Welsh emblems (daffodils, flags, Welsh dolls and leeks) which all looked very decorative. 

Thank you for all the support we received, at both of our coffee mornings held in May and 

November; it was lovely to see so many people coming in for a coffee and chat with friends. 

On 7th June, we had a trip to Carmarthen for our annual meal at the Bush Inn; this was 

followed by a ride on the Gwili Steam Railway which was thoroughly enjoyed by everybody. 

Our second trip was on 13th September to Barry Island where we enjoyed a meal in a local 

restaurant and then visited a garden centre before travelling home. 

We have had lots of ‘special’ birthdays to celebrate this year when our members have brought 

along birthday cake and wine which was appreciated by everybody. 

We finished the year with our Christmas lunch, beautifully cooked by our kitchen staff and, 

once again, thank you to the Dunvant Rugby Club Choir for coming along to wait at the tables 

and then entertain us with carols. 

For the past 3 years, we have been successful in gaining a lottery grant for our outings but this 

year it has been ‘re-launched’ under another name and we were unsuccessful but still hope to 

be arranging an outing to Brecon in the Spring. 

Have you got something you would like to say? Read a good book? Seen a good film or play? Had 

a good holiday? Recommend a recipe? Gardening tips? Something interesting or funny happened 

to you? Tell us about it. There is a post box at the back of church – just drop in your contributions 

and we will share them in the magazine. Or e-mail to reesfolk@btinternet.com Articles for the 

magazine can be submitted any time up to the last Sunday of the month for publication the 

following month. 

Roger 



David Peter Morgan (Lay Reader) R.I.P. 

It was in the last days of the ebbing year, that we learned of 

the death of David Morgan. David was a mine of 

information, someone more usually with a happy smiling 

demeanour. David was born in Brecon, a school master by 

profession, but someone who professed a very real and 

humble faith in God. For David was an Anglican through 

and through. The Morgans moved to Dunvant with the 

building of the new housing. In one of his several books, 

this one entitled ‘The History of Killay’, David says “ In his 

parochial letter of April 1954 the Rev. D. Lynne Davies 

commented that Wimmerfield estate was growing rapidly 

with the building of many new houses. In the next two 

decades, there was a population explosion within the area as estate after estate took place; 

in the Killay and Dunvant area: Wimmerfield, Broadmead, Woodcote, Derlwyn, 

Hendrefoilan, Summerfield Park and Hen Parc Lane”. 

It was to this population explosion that David served as Headteacher at Dunvant Primary 

School. David taught the children and grand-children of many of these new residents. 

David was a great local historian, regularly updating the history of his beloved St.Hilary’s 

Church. David had a great fondness and affection for Chancellor Howell Hughes, Vicar here 

for many years. It would be true to say that David saw clergy come – and he saw them go. 

David was stalwart in his ministry as Lay Reader, ever ready to help and support the clergy in 

whatever way he could. 

David was an avid gardener, often to be found in his beautifully kept rear garden at his 

home in Y Glyn. More than that, David became a judge in the annual Swansea in Bloom 

competition. David was a regular contributor to the Killay Parish magazine, often writing of 

reminiscences or nature or environmental issues. 

Over his recent stays in Singleton Hospital, as Hospital Chaplain, I was able to have 

numerous conversations with David, either prior to, or after receiving his Holy Communion, 

which he held dear. David had a very real relationship with Christ, our hope and prayer is 

that David is now raised in glory, to be with the God that walked with him in his earthly 

journey of faith. 

We thank you, Lord God, for the grace you gave to those who lived according to your will and 

are now at rest. We pray that their good example may encourage and guide us all the days of 

our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen 



The Lady Plumber 

You wonder what criteria is used to select people for the peace prize. 

Read the story below and we then understand how pathetic and superficial our world has 

become. 

Remember this lady? 

Irena Sender 

Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98) 

Warsaw, Poland 

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw 

ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior 

motive. 

Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also 

carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids. Irena kept a dog in the back 

that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. 

The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the 

kids/infants noises. 

During her time of doing this, she managed to 

smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. 

Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazis 

broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely. 

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had 

smuggled out in a glass jar that she buried under a 

tree in her back yard. 

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that 

may have survived and tried to reunite the family. 

Most had been gassed. 

Those kids she helped got placed into foster 

family homes or adopted. 

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace 

Prize. 

She was not selected. 



Music Society 

Our December meeting was a festive 

occasion, heartily enjoyed by all. We 

were joined by our two church organists, 

Lynne Novis and Chris Samuel, plus 

some of their highly talented pupils and 

friends. They entertained us with a 

variety of instruments and even 

encouraged us to join in! 

Lynne introduced our first performer who 

was Dafydd. He had just passed the 

grade 4 examination with 

Distinction on the alto saxophone. 

He played the ‘Mexican Hat Dance’ 

and ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed 

Reindeer’. 

Next came Anna on the clarinet. 

She had recently passed grade 5 

with Distinction and entertained us 

with ‘Music Hall’ and a lovely excerpt 

called ‘Summer’, taken from the theme 

music to the TV series ‘A Victorian Kitchen 

Garden’. It was written specifically for the 

clarinet. 

Then, over to Chris who introduced Lucy 

Li. She began learning to play the piano 

at the age of 9 and is now 15. During 

this short time, she has reached the high 

standard of grade 7 and is waiting for the 

results of her examination. Lucy played 

the ‘Presto’ from a Haydn concerto. 

Next came Sadie Newton on the flute. 

She has reached grade 6 and Chris is 

sometimes her accompanist. She played 

Jerome Kern’s lovely song ‘Smoke Gets 

In Your Eyes’. 

Then Lynne took centre stage on an 

enormous baritone saxophone. The 

contra-bass is the lowest in sound and 

the biggest. Young people sometimes 

start on an alto saxophone 

which only has half the number 

of keys than is usual and is 

therefore lighter. Lynne played 

the ‘Londonderry Air’. This 

arrangement was by Craig 

Pickard and was, originally, for a 

saxophone quartet but Chris, on 

the piano, put in all the chords 

that were missing. Chris then introduced 

Julia Bytheway. Some years ago, Julia 

was a concert musician on the clarinet 

and piano but then gave it up for a while. 

Chris met her 5 years ago and she began 

again with her music. She has just 

passed grade 8 on the piano. Chris and 

Julia then played the first movement of 

Beethoven’s 5th Symphony as a duet - 

AMAZING! 

Lynne then accompanied Josh on the C 

melody saxophone, an instrument which 

Parish of Killay 2018 

!14

seems to have fallen out of favour at this 

time. Josh has just passed grade 7 with 

Distinction. He played ‘Valse Vanite’ by 

Rudy Wiedoeft. 

Then, it was our turn to join in this lovely 

concert. With Chris on the piano and 

Lynne and the performers on their 

instruments, we all sang ‘O Come All Ye 

Faithful’. Lynne is a teacher in Craigfelin 

and Craigcefnparc schools where she 

teaches music and signing. You can 

guess what came next….she taught us to 

sign ‘Away in a Manger’ - 3 verses! It was 

quite a challenge but so interesting and 

worthwhile. Then we all went back to our 

Infant School days when a variety of bells, 

triangles, castanets etc were distributed 

for us to play ‘Jingle Bells’. 

To calm us down after our contribution, 

Chris took to the piano and played a 

lovely melody called ‘Autumn Crocus’ by 

Billy Mayerl. Then Johanna Blanck, a 

Swedish young lady from Three Crosses, 

played a Georges Geelo concerto on the 

tenor saxophone - superb! Earlier this 

year, Johanna passed grade 8 with 

Distinction. 

Finally, another wonderful treat from 

Cesia Rees. Cesia won the under 16 

woodwind competition at this year’s 

National Eisteddfod on the flute. We were 

all amazed and delighted by her 

interpretation of ‘Concertino’ by 

Chaminade. 

What a wonderful evening of superb 

music and some fun too. Pat Stratton 

echoed all our admiration and enjoyment 

in her vote of thanks. 

We ended by joining together to enjoy 

mince pies, stollen and mulled wine, tea 

and coffee. 

St Hilary’s Music Society Annual Celebration Meal 

Our annual celebration meal will be held on 

Monday, January 8th at 6.30pm in Olchfa House. 

The cost is £6.50. 

Please ring Babs Roberts on 299160 if you would like to come, 

unless you have already signed the list. 



Mothers’ Union 

On November 29 th, 37 members from different Branches met to hold a retreat or Quiet Day 

in Nicholaston House, Gower in preparation for Advent. We were fortunate to be able to 

enjoy our beautiful surroundings in glorious sunshine. Our day was led by Canon Dewi 

Roberts, vicar of Ystradgynlais. He divided our day into three sessions: Waiting; Readiness; 

Hoping. After each session we were asked to be silent to reflect on his words. 

In Advent we are asked to wait patiently, as the first Christians did, for the coming of the 

Kingdom of God. Waiting patiently in our “instant” world is not easy today. We can be so 

easily distracted with all we have to do, mostly concerning this world not about what is to 

come. Canon Roberts reminded us of the parable of the Prodigal Son in which Jesus 

reminds us that God is waiting for us too. 

Readiness involves really being ready at any time which is very challenging; in days gone by 

preachers used images of “fire & brimstone” to control the population. This would not be 

effective today as they would certainly be challenged! I think today that we need to use this 

Advent time to perhaps review our lives & to refresh our faith. 

Hoping: this is the theme of Advent. The saying “We live in hope” should not apply to 

Christians as we have confidence in Jesus, our hope stems from Him. Jesus calls us to 

transform Society, to bring “Light into the Dark Corners of the World” which is what 

missionaries try to do. We light our Advent candles on each of the four Sundays in Advent as 

a symbol of light & our hope in Jesus. 

The day was interspersed with refreshments as usual & I think we all felt the day a timely 

reminder of what the Advent season is REALLY about. 

Pat Stratton. 

On December 5 th , M.U. members enjoyed an excellent Christmas lunch in Sketty Hall, 

joined by members and friends from around the Deanery. Carole, Branch Leader, welcomed 

everyone, giving a brief account of activities during the past year. A 

queue formed around the tables to claim a present from the Lucky Dip 

bags. The raffle completed the proceedings; those with winning tickets 

claiming a prize from the generous supply donated. 

On Wednesday, December 13 th , M.U. joined with Ladies Guild for the 

annual carol service in church, followed by sherry and mince pies in the 

Parish Centre. The Grand Christmas Draw was held during the evening. 

We meet for the first time in 2018 on Tuesday, January 16 th at 2:00pm for Eucharist in the 

church, followed by tea and biscuits in the Parish Centre. 

The A.G.M. will be held in the Parish Centre on Tuesday, February 6 th . 



The wise men came from 

the East 

On 6 th January we celebrate Epiphany - the 

visit of the wise men (who had travelled from 

the East), to the baby Jesus. But who were 

these wise men? No one knows for sure. 

Matthew calls them ‘Magi’, and that was the 

name of an ancient caste of a priestly kind 

from Persia. It wasn’t until the third century 

that they were called kings - by a church 

father, Tertullian. 

Another church father, Origin, assumed there 

were three - to correspond with the gifts 

given. Later Christian interpretation came to 

understand gold as a symbol of wisdom and 

wealth, incense as a symbol of worship and 

sacrifice, and myrrh as a symbol of healing - 

and even embalming. Certainly Jesus 

challenged and set aright the way in which 

the world handled all three of these things. 

Since the 8th century, the magi have had the 

names Balthasar, Caspar and Melchior. 

Where did the Wise Men come from? Magi 

from the East – it isn’t a lot to go on. The Magi 

had originally been a religious caste among 

the Persians. Their devotion to astrology, 

divination and the interpretation of dreams 

led to an extension in the meaning of the 

word, and by the first century the Magi in 

Matthew’s gospel could have been 

astrologers from outside of Persia. Some 

scholars believe they might have come from 

what was then Arabia Felix, or as we would say 

today, southern Arabia. 

Certainly, in the first century astrology was 

practised there, and it was the region where 

the Queen of Sheba had lived. She of course 

had visited Solomon and would have heard 

the prophecies about how one day a Messiah 

would be born to the Israelites and become 

their king. 

Matthew’s gospel (Chapter 2) is clear that the 

Magi asked Herod: ‘Where is the One who 

has been born king of the Jews? We saw His 

star in the east and have come to worship 

Him.’ So it is possible that in southern Arabia 

the Queen of Sheba’s story of how a Messiah 

would one day be sent to the Israelites had 

survived. Certainly, there are a number of 

other early legends that connect southern 

Arabia with Solomon’s Israel. 

To many people this makes sense: that the 

ancient stories of a Messiah, linked to later 

astrological study, prompted these alert and 

god-fearing men to the realisation that 

something very stupendous was happening 

in Israel. They realised that after all these 

centuries, the King of the Jews, the Messiah, 

was about to be born. 

One more interesting thing that gives weight 

to the theory that the magi came from 

southern Arabia is this: if you study any map 

of Palestine as it was during biblical times, 

you will find that the old Arabian caravan 

routes all entered Palestine ‘from the East’. 

The story of the coming of the Magi grew in 

the telling. By the 6 th century they had 

acquired names: Gaspar, Melchior, and 

Balthasar. By medieval times they were 

considered to be kings. Whoever they were, 

we do know from Matthew that they brought 

three gifts to Jesus.

How do YOU see faith? 

Our Lent course this year is called Faith Pictures 

and is designed by Church Army. This is a short 

course designed to help Christians talk 

naturally to friends, neighbours and colleagues 

about what they believe. The heart of the 

course is about helping people to identify a 

single picture or image that embodies 

something of their faith. This is because the 

kinds of communication which best stick in the 

mind are concrete and rooted in story. The 

course aims to be accessible and light-hearted, 

without jargon or inflexible methods. To find out more, visit… www.faithpictures.org 

The course has the following sessions: Opening the conversation, The power of the 

ordinary, Travellers’ Tales, Talking pictures, Companions on the journey and Hidden 

opportunities. 

Lent this year begins in mid-February. As in previous years, it is hoped that this course 

can be run across the Clyne Trinity Ministry Area. Firstly, we need people prepared to 

open their homes and act as hosts. Secondly, we need people prepared to lead the 

course material, all of which can be viewed online and is free. If you would like to be 

involved in hosting, or leading a group, please contact Canon Phillip at your earliest 

opportunity. By the end of the month, we need to have details of venues and days and 

times – to enable people to sign up to attend. 

It is hoped that we will be able to cross parish boundaries, to make new friends – and to 

share our Faith Pictures. 

News from Bruckmuhl 

I've just heard from the conductor of youth choir, Lisa May, that Harald the group leader 

and Pastor will retire on 21st January 2018. However, several of the sub-leaders have 

decided to work together, as they have so enjoyed the area and our relationship with 

them since 2004, and they are hoping to return with a group in the summer of 2018. 

They are waiting to see what the take up will be, so it is not farewell but aufiedesen "until 

the next time” - we’d better start saving and cooking again!! 

Our friends from Bavaria wish to send their love to you all this Christmastide and New Year 

and I have sent a reciprocal message on behalf of all at St Hilary and St Martin.

The Week of Prayer for 

Christian Unity 

This year the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity runs 

from 18 th to 25 th January. The theme of the week 

this year comes from the churches of the Caribbean, and addresses some of the 

problems which affect the people there, but also worldwide. 

Thus, as abuses of human rights are found across the region, the week will challenge 

us to consider our manner of welcoming the stranger into our midst. Human 

trafficking and modern-day slavery continue to be huge issues. Addiction to 

pornography and drugs continue to be serious challenges to all societies. The debt 

crisis has a negative impact upon the nations and upon individuals – the economies of 

the nations and people have become precarious. Family life continues to be 

challenged by the economic restrictions which lead to migration, domestic abuse and 

violence. 

What are Christians to do, in the face of such vast problems? The Caribbean Churches 

work together to heal the wounds in people’s lives, but also know that reconciliation 

demands repentance, reparation and the healing of memories. The whole Church is 

called to be both a sign and an active agent of this reconciliation.

Ladies Guild 

On 29 th November, hungry Guild members descended on Sketty Hall for their Christmas lunch 

and they were not disappointed; the food was delicious, the wine was flowing and the service 

faultless. After lunch we were entertained by Jonathan Lycett, playing and singing a medley of 

seasonal songs, telling jokes and then led some carol singing. The atmosphere was great! The 

time passed very quickly and it was soon time for everyone to draw the “Secret Santa” prizes. Once 

again the afternoon was a great success, so much so that Gwynneth has already booked the venue 

for 2018. 

d 

Our first speaker this month was Esme Wood, who is a regular visitor to Ladies’ Guild. She read 

short articles from magazines, extracts from newspapers and poems, but all of these had her 

unique twist. She talked about the many diets she had tried, explaining that 

if you go to Weight Watchers, you stand on a scale, pay £5 and are then told 

that you are fat, which you already knew! She recommended a coconut and 

banana diet, you’ll still be fat but you’ll be better than anyone else at 

climbing trees. Her favourite was the gin diet. Drink a bottle a day, you’ll 

still be fat but you really won’t care! She talked about ageism, claiming that 

the best thing about it is the lack of peer pressure. 

Esme had read an article entitled, “Why can’t Santa be a man?” She gave us just some of the 

answers: Men can’t pack a bag. Men don’t wear red velvet. Men never answer their mail. Men 

won’t stop to ask directions when they are lost. Men leave all their shopping until Christmas Eve. 

She then posed some more questions. Why is it that we are willing to believe that there are over 4 

billion stars, but we have to touch doors to check if the paint is still wet? Why do we press harder 

on the remote control, when we know that the battery is dead? Why do we go back to check that 

the door we locked minutes ago is still locked? 

It was a wonderful light hearted evening. We laughed from beginning to end, proving that 

laughter really is the best medicine. 

d 

Our last meeting of 2017 was the Ladies Guild and Mothers Union combined Carol Service which 

was led, for the first time, by our our lay ministry members Barbara Roberts and John Williams 

with readings by Guild and Mothers Union members. John read the final reading from St John's 

Gospel. Our sincere thanks to John and Barbara for leading such meaningful worship. 

Following the service, the Grand Raffle was drawn in the Parish Centre, where sherry and mince 

pies were served by the Guild committee. The majority of the prizes were won by Guild, MU and 

Church members. 

Ladies Guild committee and members wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.

‘Show people the power of our faith’ – Archbishop 

Young people would high-five the prophet Job and queue for selfies with Jesus if they 

properly understood Christianity, said the new Archbishop of Wales today. 

In his address at his enthronement as the 13th Archbishop of Wales, John Davies 

challenged churches to ‘rehabilitate and refresh’ how they explained the Gospel 

message, particularly to young people. Being a Christian, he said, was not about just 

going to church. 

He said, “We are not always seen for the good which we do, or for the just causes which 

we support or further, or for the justice and truth for which we call.” 

He said, “Let churches resolve to face down the caricature of being an institution, 

focussed on simply surviving and being against things. 

“Let churches and their charities, resolve to proudly affirm caring, loving and openhanded 

initiatives which, often in partnership with others, they are already taking; 

supporting and affirming needy communities and people. They work through things 

such as family centres, food-banks, night-shelters, homelessness projects, in 

chaplaincies and schools, in towns and cities through the work of street-pastors, 

through aid agencies rebuilding broken and struggling communities in destitute 

places some of us have never even heard of, and in so many other ways. Often the 

work goes unseen, as does a remarkable amount ordinary but supportive community 

engagement at home. But, in such ways what churches say they believe takes flesh, 

has real meaning, and the kingdom comes. We must be ready and not afraid or 

ashamed to say so and explain so. 

“That should become part of what I believe has to be a commitment to an overdue 

drive to rehabilitate and refresh how we explain the Gospel message, helping others 

really grasp that it’s not simply about going to church.” 

The Archbishop said he had an ‘active and deep concern’ for witness to young people 

who were not associating the Gospel message with their own strong sense of right. 

He said, “So many of them so evidently have a deep and clearly-articulated sense of 

moral right. They are keenly aware of the need for social and economic justice, the 

stewardship of creation, and equality of opportunity; they are equally aware of the 

need for a society free from any form of prejudice rooted in anything which is part of 

the individual identity, gender, race, origin, religion or orientation of anyone. 



“Interestingly, they also often have a deep admiration for ideals which actually are 

found in scripture – they would give Job a high-five or even a hug, they would 

encourage the Colossians to put on that overcoat of blood-red love; they would be 

blown away by the radical teachings of Jesus, the Good Shepherd – and, if they could, 

would almost certainly have a selfie taken with him! Perhaps, however, they don’t 

associate our sometimes-struggling churches with these things, or hear those churches 

saying a clear enough ‘hear hear’ to them.” 

Archbishop John also urged everyone to speak up against injustice and oppression. 

He said, “Beyond the churches and religion, can we not all simply resolve, in our 

increasingly divided, bewildered and uneven society, to be clothed with goodness, to 

call to account and encourage the reform of individuals and entities which deliberately 

or by stealth, neglect and carelessness collude in oppressing minorities, burdening the 

poor and robbing individuals of their dignity?” 



THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU CAN’T SLEEP 

•* If you attempt to rob a bank you 

won't have any trouble with rent/food 

bills for the next 10 years, whether or 

not you are successful. 

 

• Do twins ever realize that one of 

them is unplanned? 

•* Which letter is silent in the word 

"Scent," the S or the C? 

• What if my dog only brings back the stick 

because he thinks I like throwing it? 

• Why is the letter W, in English, called 

double U? Shouldn't it be called double V? 

• Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It 

just takes 75-100 years to fully work. 

• Many animals probably need glasses, but 

nobody knows it. 

• The word "swims" upside-down and backwards is 

still “swims”. 

• Intentionally losing a game of rock, paper, 

scissors is just as hard as trying to win. 

• 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich 

had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own 

horses. 

• The doctors that told Stephen Hawking 

he had two years to live in 1953 are 

probably dead. 

• What do sheep do when they can’t sleep? 

• If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, 

Where and When", you get the answer to each of them. 

• If you rip a hole in a net, there are actually fewer holes 

in it than there were before. 

• If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday, we'll just call it "2's 

Day". (It does fall on a Tuesday) 

• *Why is ‘Miss Universe’ only ever won by people from 

Earth? 



Wordsearch 

The Wise Men and St Paul were both on trips when they first encountered Jesus, 

but how different those trips were! The Wise Men, whom we remember on 

Epiphany (6 th Jan), were seeking the One for whom the Star shone, and came to 

Bethlehem to worship him. St Paul, whose conversion we remember this month 

(26 th Jan), was on his way to Damascus, seeking to kill those who worshipped Jesus. 

When the Wise Men encountered the baby Jesus, they worshipped him and gave him 

gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. When St Paul, the proud, fanatical Pharisee, 

encountered Jesus, he fell blinded on the road, and then worshipped him by giving 

him the rest of his life. St Paul endured years of suffering and hardships in his work 

as the great apostle to the Gentiles. His mighty faith in Christ has kindled similar 

belief in many hundreds of millions of people down the centuries.
