Introduction by Reverend Canon Zoo Klng In this report you will read the bare bone5 of our Ministry Area over the last year. Unfortunately, what you will not read is the hard work and endeavours of so many people, you won't hear the laughter, the sharing of the gospel, the kindness and challenges we have faced. Reading the report is important so you know what is going on. looking past it and engaging with the Ministry Area in prayer, mission and action is also very important. We have seen some changes over the last year Fr Dan took shared parental leave and then when he returned we said good to Rev'd Emma as she finished her curacy and took up her new role as Bishop's Chaplain. We were also glad to welcome Fr Robert Evans to our retired clergy family alongside Fr Chris and Fr Edward who are much valued for their fellowship and assistance in the Ministry area as well as mv colleagues Fr Robert and Fr Dan and Jan for making sure we all know what is going onl We must offer grateful thanks to Helena as she steps down from being Lay Chair and Chris Chaulk from being MA Warden, their hard work and dedication is beyond compare and we have much to be grateful for. Times are tough financially both inside and outside the church and our treasurers Ann and Martin Evans and Keith do us proud in how they make sure everything run smoothly, and we do have to face things head on, but we also have a lot to celebrate we are working much more together and making sure we communicate much better. Finally, thank you. Thank you for your prayers and hard work. Our buildings could all fall down tomorrow but we as a church would remain, we have a mission to fulfil so here's to another year of doing all we can for the kingdom. All Salnts, Report by Reverend Canon Zoe King All Saints has had a busy year, the choir went to St David's to sing and are preparing to sing in Exeter cathedral as well as adding to our worship. We have had a huge number of baptisms, and many thanks to the Mothers Union fortheir support there. During advent we had approximately 4000 people come through the doors, with school concerts, the Carol Service for the bereaved, the St John's Ambulance Carol service. We also hosted the RNLI carol service and also then in March we were thrilled to receive their standard to stand proud in the St Baruc's Chapel. In the year we were lucky to have the clock fixed for us by Steve Dutfield and its lovely to see it working. The sign has been changed and updated and our grateful thanks goes to David Hop for that. The Soup ladies go from strength to strength in
all their charitable endeavours. We are blessed with a wide range of volunteers who read, lead intercessions, clean, make tea and coffee and keep the show on the road. We are also thrilled that we will be offering digital giving very shortly. During the past year we have said a fond farewell to the following: Gill Margaret Davies, Peter Treadwell, Suzanne Bradbury, Sarah Davies, June Donovan, Michael Walnycki and Norma Canon and then very sadly in early 2024 we lost a stalwart in Mary Cule. We thank God for their Christian witness and pray they may rest In peace. All Salnts Church Cholr by James Bull. B.Mus. The Choir's main focus is to lead and enhance the worship of the congregation of All Saints, Barry. This is supplemented by the Choir singing Anthems at the Eucharist Services. Their repertoire has increased greatly over the last year and they enjoy singing Mozart Eucharist settings occaslonally now. The musical settings at the Eucharist are fully congregatfonal (the current settings being Mass of St Thomas by David Thorne and the Missa Simplex by Malcolm Archer, which alternatel, and there is a good mix of hymns, psalms and worship songs sung, so that every age range can be represented. At Mission Area Services the music is always completely different to reflect the fact that thi5 Is a mission area service and not linked to a particular church. The choir is always appreciated by members of the congregation l also want to publicallythank Miss Mary Williams, Mr Lindsay Gray and Mr David Thomas for playing at services, weddings and funerals in my absence. Their support is very much noted and appreciated. I would also like to thank every individual choir member who gives up their time and talent willingly as a volunteer to sing and lead the worship to Almighty God and in addition help me run choir social events, fundraising events or supports me in putting on concerts, this extends to people outside the choir as welll I We had a very successful trip to St Davids, Cathedral where we were joined by members of Peterston-super-Ely Church Choir and our music was greatly appreciated and praised by the now new Bishop of St David's. We are already looking forward to the challenges and maintaining the high standard of music which we have become used to at All Saints, Parish Church throughout the forthcoming year
Mothers. Union by Anlta Hop We currently have fi'fty-two members. We have enjoyed speakers giving talks on many interesting and varied topics. We held a very successful Coffee Morning and a 'Coronation Special, which was a lovelv afternoon with the hall decked in red. white and blue. Our last meeting before the summer recess was a tasty Fish/Chicken and Chip lunch. In November we had an 'Autumn Lunch, in the Glamorgan Suite at Barry College, three courses and cocktails on arrival, it was superb and enjoyed by all. Our 'Christmas Cheerf afternoon on th 14 December brought our autumn programme to a close and put us all in a festive mood. Our main project this year has been the 'Fish and Chip, jumpers and hats, so called because many babies in Africa are sent home from hospital wrapped in newspaper to keep them warm. The project has been going very well and we are grateful to all our members and friends who have provided wool and been busy knitting these. In September there was a wonderful service of Thanksgiving and Banner Festival In Llandaff Cathedral to celebrate 130 years of Mothers, Union in the Llandaff Diocese. Bishop Mary gave the sermon and our Worldwide President Sheran Harper gave an address. Our banner was carried in a huge procession of banners from branches and deaneries across the Llandaff Diocese. Deanery and Diocesan events have included the Deanery Festival, Deanery Advent Service, Diocesan Annual Council and Diocesan Advent Carol Service. In January we took part in the annual 'Wave of Prayer, service. We have 4 million members worldwide and the 'Wave of Prayer, visits every branch in 84 countries. Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of the month at 2pm in All Saints, Church Hall and we extend a warm welcome to all who would like tojoin us. Chaplaincy by Reverend Canon Zoe Klng We are incredibly blessed with a group of dedicated visitors. However, we are always looking for more and making sure that we are visiting everyone that need us. If you are interested in becoming a member of the chaplaincy team please speak to one of the clergy and also if you think someone needs a visit. Churches of the Blessed Virgin Mary & 5t Dyfan and St Teilo Reports by Fr Dan Barnes-Davies, SCP
Merthyr Dyfan No one knew at the beginning of 2023 that it would be a year of great change and renewal for the Church of Saints Dyfan and Teilo. When I took Shared ParentalLeave over the summer, Fr Robert 'translated' across from Merthyr Dyfan to cover St Cadoc's and St Mary's for me. and the Reverend Emma Ackland became Curate-in- Charge of Merthyr Dyfan. While the congregation thanked Robert for his 21 years with them, it wasn't quite farewell. since he remains a Vicar in the MA. l am very thankful to Emma for so capably leading Team MD to a number of great successes in her short time in charge. The highlight of the year was surely taking part in the Llandaff Monmouth 'Churches Unlocked, festival in June. Over the course of a week, and with a great deal of support from the diocesan team, MA members and Oak Field school, Re¢d Emma and Team MD welcomed over 400 people to our previously-underestimated church. The two Saturday open days were very well- attended, by adults, children and dogs alike. Children from Oak Field were enthusiastic tour guides, which is just one small glimpse of the excellent relationship we have built with the school. Canon Zoè led a contemplative service on the first Sunday evening, and we all gathered in the churchyard for an open-alr MSnlstry Area service with Barry Brass Band on the second Sunday mornin8, the Feast of St Barnabas. Though I was on leave at the time. Miriam and I were at a few of these wonderful events, and had great fun seeing the church and the community embrace. For months afterwards, the rainbow ribbons on the porch gate stood as a powerful symbol of how well-loved this church is by her community; and a reminder to us all how important that relationship is. Less obviously fun, but just as hard work and Just as important, the new heating and lighting systems were installed, which make a huge difference to our ability to welcome people into their church. Since I became Vicar at Merthyr Dyfan in November, I have been very encouraged by members, enthusiasm for engaging with their local community. This was exemplified not least in our Christmas Eve carol service, which thanks in no small part to Wendy and the team's advertising saw over 120 people cram into their church, to share in the joy of Christ's incarnation. It's in the spirit of that incarnational joy that I look forward to working together in the coming years, to meet the local community where they are and show them the all- welcoming love of Christ. Have you heard the saying of Dyfan the Martyr? "God is superior to ill foreboding." Trech Duw na drwg ddarogan. St Marf5 Many of our usual activities returned, with the customary aplomb, this year such as the silent auction, Shrove Tuesday pancake party and quiz, Harvest supper and quiz. and Breakfast with Santa we've also built on this legacy with new events.
While I was on leave during the summer. the Coronation was an excellent opportunity to welcome people into the building, which we did, both in our own fish and chip supper and in the Town Mayorfs tea. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, our subwarden, Susan Borges, has steadily pushed forward several necessary building maintenance tasks, the most obvious of which was the renewal of the high-level lighting. More than half of the old bulbs had gone, so we took the opportunity to replace them with modern LED bulbs which look the same but consume much less energy. This is great news for our planet and MA financesl This is just one example of what l and the team undertake to keep St Mary's welcoming to our community, and especially to the many groups and events which book in with us, regularly and as one-offs, every year. Children and young people have been something of a theme at St Mar¢s this year. They are the fastest-growing group in our Sunday congregation, and for thls reason, Sunday school resumed in March thanks to Rebecca Dyer and Caroline Dodd and their team. I look forward to discussing how to expand and enhance this ministry during the MAC'S vision and strategy planning. Our relationship with Holton Primary School has gone from strength to strength this year, with the gardening club coming to us weekly, and their ongoing involvement in the Peace Garden. They were one of several schools and community groups who took part in the 'wellbeing' themed art exhibition for the garden project over the surnmer. At the end of April, I was personally thrilled with the hospitality St Marws and the whole MA offered for my daughter Miriam's baptism. Besides our own friends and relations, and our MA family, we were able to invite Miriam's friends from baby groups into the church. I was so glad that we could show 50 many local people such a lovely welcome that day, and we will remember it, with sincere thanks, for a very long time. I would like to thank Fr Robert for covering my shared parental leave and Fr Chris for the assistance he gave; Helena for chairing the garden project,. Susan for assisting her, alongside her many duties as subwarden and sacrlstan; and all the members at St Marfs. Diolch yn fawr, pawbl St Cadods Church by Fr Robert Parrish In May last year l assumed responsibility for both St Cadoc's and St Mary's, as Fr Dan began his parental leave. In October, when Fr Dan returned from leave, it was decided that I should continue at St Cadoc's, and that Fr Dan should be responsible for Merthyr Dyfan church in addition to St Mary's. I have been very fortunate to have the support of a dedicated team of clergy and laity at St Cadoc's. Fr Chris is a dedicated priest, tireless visitor of the sick, and an extremely practical person. On most Sundays now Fr Chris, Fr Robert Evans, and
myself concelebrate, and we take it in turns to preach. It has been a joy to welcome Fr Evans and his wife Andrea to the congregation. We are fortunate to have dedicated warden Rowena Hughes in our congregation. I would also like to thank Jan Braddon, our sacristan, Gerry Bushen our server, Shirley Powell our verger, and Kay Charles our musical accompanist. Nothing is too much trouble for our team at St Cadoc's. I would also like to thank Susan Borges for all the support she gave me during my six months at St Mary's. During the last year at St Cadoc's, a very successful Surnmer Fayre was held. Our thanks once again to Barry Brass Band for providing the music. Over £IOOO.00 was raised by the Fayre. The toilet was finally signed off after cistern was repaired. When the toilet window was vandalised, it was repaired by Fr Chris and Brian Hughes free of charge. When cracks appeared in the church footpath, Fr Chris met the builder5 who surveyed the damage. It appears that the cracks have been caused by tree roots. The affected patch was repaired by Brian Hughes using Crack Repair Compound, costing mere £21.951 Thank you to Brian for all the help he freely gives to St Cadoc's. Damp ingresslng down the Chancel/Nave wall is causing us concern, but it will be tackled this year. Shortly before Christmas most of the pupils of Cadoxton school were welcomed to St Cadoc's church to hear the Christmas story, and they returned on 22nd March to hear the Easter storv. I would like to thank the people of St Cadoc's for the warm welcome they have given me as their new priest. Electoral Roll There are 162 people listed on the Electoral Roll

She was especially grateful to have been supported all year by the Mlnlsters and Members in all four Churches. The main aim during the year was to bring unity as a new Ministry Area and although we still have a way to go, we have made forward strldes in communicating, coming together at Ministry Area events and supporting each other.
