WORDS ON THIS PAGE


ANGLICAN

Anglicans form the family of Christians closely related to the Archbishop of
Canterbury. Whilst tracing their inheritance back to Christ and the earliest
Christians and to the ancient Roman Catholic church, the sixteenth century
Reformation was a crucial moment for Anglicanism.


BAPTISM

Baptism involves declaring faith in God and being washed with water. It means
being cleansed from sin, being united to Jesus Christ, receiving his Holy Spirit
and becoming God’s children. Sometimes called ‘Christening’.


EVANGELISM

‘Evangelion’ means ‘good news’. Evangelism is about sharing the good news of
Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection in the hope that others may come to
believe in and follow Jesus.


HOLY COMMUNION

At Holy Communion blessed bread and wine is shared, by which we receive the body
and blood of Jesus Christ. The congregation gives thanks for Jesus’ life, his
death and resurrection and his continuing presence. See also Eucharist.


LECTIONARY

A lectionary is a pattern for Bible readings for the Church year. This means
that churches in the Church in Wales are able to use the same readings on any
given day.


LITURGY

Liturgy is a set form of words and action used for worship. In the Church in
Wales (and many other churches) these forms follow the same pattern from one
congregation to another. Most Anglican liturgies look back in some way to the
Book of Common Prayer.


PRAYER

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or
informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession
(‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).


CHURCH IN WALES

The Church in Wales believes and proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ. This
is Good News, because it encourages each one of us to realise that God loves us,
that he has gone out of his way to meet us in the person of his Son, in whom he
accepts us as we are. He asks us to draw on his strength to live life to the
full, and to bring healing to the world.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change

God’s Earth is crying out for our care and if we do not urgently limit
greenhouse gas emissions and the destruction of species we will permanently
disfigure our common home preventing billions of God’s children from
flourishing. The Church in Wales recognises responsible stewardship of creation
is integral to Christian discipleship.

WELSH LANGUAGE

Welsh language

The Welsh language is alive and well in the Church in Wales as Christians across
the land worship, witness and serve God and their communities. Our hope is to
continue to develop our provision so that our mission and ministry in Welsh may
be strengthened and be given new opportunities to flourish.

CHRISTENINGS (BAPTISMS)

The Church in Wales believes that children are a precious gift from God. Your
child is special, and we hope that their christening, or baptism as it’s
sometimes called, will prove to be the start of an amazing journey with him.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Collect 60 Lord of all life and power, who through the mighty resurrection of
your Son overcame the old order of sin and death to make all things new in him:
grant that we, being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign
with him in glory; to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be praise and honour,
glory and might, now and in all eternity.
SUL Y PASG / Wythnos y Pasg ~ EASTER DAY / Easter Week

sinners and to suff er death upon the cross; who is alive and glorifi ed with
