The NPT Circuit held a welcoming service at Neath Methodist Church on the afternoon of Saturday 1st September 2018 for our new Superintendent Presbyter Reverend Rosemary Davies. The service was lead by our Synod Chair Reverend Dr Stephen Wigley with the support of our Lay worker and most members of our Circuit leadership team.

Rosemary addressed the congregation which was made up of representatives from all of our nine churches and visitors.

After the service everyone shared a faith tea. Many thanks to the Neath team who made this all possible.

We all look forward to the future supporting Rosemary and working with our new team.

The circuit farewell service was held at 6:00 pm on Sunday 22 July 2018 at Sandfields Methodist Church.

The service was well attended with the Church full. Wendy Watts was also presented with a certificate to mark 25 years as a Local preacher.

We all had the opportunity of saying goodbye to our Superintendent Minister Christ Gray, Deacon Vivian Gray who are retiring to North Wales and Minister Kofi Amissah who has been stationed to the Cardiff Circuit.

During the service they offered emotional speeches and were presented with gifts as gratitude for all their hard work which was followed by a Faith supper.

God bless you all for your support over the last 7 years Viv and Chris and enjoy your well deserved retirement. God bless to you Kofi and your family with your new stationing.

Revd. Kofi Amissah arranged a “Ghanaian night” recently at Taibach Church. Many of his Christian country folk based in London entertained us with a typical African service which is very different to a traditional Methodist service here in Wales.

The service was very colourful, and loud with constant dancing and chanting. Everyone afterwards was treated to traditional Ghanaian food and drink.

Many thanks to the London based Ghanaian Church for a enjoyable evening.
