offers a range of services during the week at
different times of day, including all age worship
and healing services. All churches in the circuit
provide weekly Sunday morning worship, with
Holy Communion once a month.
Services are also now available live streamed
so they can be accessed at home.
All age worship is usually led by appointed
Worship Leaders and family workers.
There is a team who lead the healing services
which take place during the day towards at the
end of the week. All are welcome to attend the
service, and prayer requests for healing are
also welcomed.
Evening worship has now restarted following
the pandemic, which takes place once a month
and is provided within the vibrant community of
Craig y Don.
Members of the circuit are happy that “normal
service” has now been resumed following the
pandemic.
All are welcome to attend any of the services at
any of our churches throughout CPMC. We
welcome the community to celebrate life’s
milestones, such as Christenings, weddings
and funerals.| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

Our circuit churches continue to work hard
to build the confidence of the members to
come back to worship following the
pandemic. The staff work tirelessly to
ensure that elderly or vulnerable people
have continued to be supported and
connected to the family of the church. For
example, with the development of the
circuit website, pastoral visits, and
newsletters| |---|---|---| |||Many of our circuit churches rely heavily on
