Occasionally on a Tuesday evening a representative of a missionary society would be present to speak about a particular aspect of the work being undertaken. A meeting for primary age children took place in the church each Friday during term time. This was followed by a youth group for secondary age young people who met in the church on Friday evenings. A meeting for 20s and 30’s aged people met on a Saturday morning once a week for part of the year and then in the Pastor’s house and subsequently at church every Friday evening under the title of Growth Group. A parents and toddlers group met in the church on a Tuesday morning each week during school terms. A coffee morning took place on the third Saturday of the month. This was an evangelistic opportunity and some who were not regular church attenders regularly came to the meeting. A gospel talk was given at the end of each meeting. Other activities included a special weekend known as Bible Fest when a day was spent in the EMW conference centre at Bryn y Groes Bala to hear two Bible talks and generally enjoy time in one another’s company. An evangelistic quiz evening was also held and a Saturday afternoon family time with games and other activities.
