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.

Chairman'5 Introductlon
Helena Coombes addressed the meeting saying that it was good to see so many
people sat on chalrs at this morning's Annual Vestry Meeting.
Helena went on to say'where has this year goneP-. She related that people often say
this phrase and she now knows how exactly this feels, as it is difficult to realise that
year has gone by since she thanked everyone for having confidence and support in
her role as Lay Chair.
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.
Helena then stated that she had hoped to get to know more of the congregations
within the Ministry Area but again "where did the year vanish?" She hopes that with
the aid of her knee replacement she will be able to accomplish more this coming year.

Rev'd Zoe addressed the meeting by saying thank you to all in attendance for coming
to the meeting.
She went on to say that last year had been more productive especially with being able
to work closer together as things opened up more.
Involvement in Schools, work has picked up, mainly due to Rev'd Emma. We have a
very good link with All Saint's School.
On the whole children's work is developlng by introducing Messy Church along with
other activities. Sunday School has been reinstated at St Mary's.

The garden project at St Mary's is really taking off, thanks go to Helena and Susan for
their commitment.

All Saint's Choir went to Bath Abbey in the summer of last year. They will be off to St
David's Cathedral this year.
Also during last year a Multi Faith event was held at All Saint's. Following this event
Rev'd Emma visited a Muslim School in Cardiff.
Re¢d Zoe said that this year we need to look at fundralslng, especially with the rise in
energy costs, stating as an example that the heating bill for just one month equated
to £6,000. We also need to work more in the community.
She went on to say that Fr Dan will be taking shared parental leave which will mean
rejigging the Ministry Area but she is confident that we will adapt.
Regarding open Churches project, we really need volunteers from across the board,
so please encourage people to help out.
At this point Rev'd Zoe expressed her thanks to:. Clergy colleagues for all their hard
work. Martin, Ann and Keith for their diligent work with the accounts (at this point
round of applause was given). The two Ministry Area Wardens being Chris and
Rowena, they are extraordinary. incredibly grateful. Rev'd Zoe also mentioned that

part by more casual giving and plate collections. Total giving in 2023 was £63.000
compared to £65,000 in 2022.
Light and heating costs have increased again compared to the prevlous year, this belng
mainly attributed to Gas.
