WELCOME TO DINAS POWYS BAPTIST CHURCH BLOG

A warm welcome to our first church blog. Communication is always one of those difficult things to keep on top of in church life. Church meetings only take place 3-4 times a year, Sunday newsletters and morning services do not give us enough time to share in detail what is going on, so unless you are specifically involved in the planning of any particular event you can easily miss out or be largely unaware of the different things that go on day by day in the life of the church and the community.


WHAT ARE WE HOPING TO ACHIEVE WITH THE BLOG?

1. Increase your awareness of those things that are being planned in our church.

2. Let you know when events are due to take place in the near future.

3. Reports and photos of activities that have taken place recently involving people from church.

4. If you want to know who is preaching, or if you have forgotten when you are next covering welcome, Teas or GY2K then you will find the current lists on the blog.

5. We want to make you aware of other Christian events happening in the area.

6. Keep you up to date about activities involving groups that we have links to in the life of the church, Care for the family, Victory Outreach, Alpha, Hope to Ghana, Compassion, B.M.S. etc


We realise that these things will only be of use and interest to you if you can expect to find something new each week when you access the site. With this in mind we will guarantee that there will be some new entries every week. Over 85% of the church family here at Dinas Powys Baptist church have access to the Internet. That means that we still need to provide other means of communication for those who do not have this access. But this also means that there are a lot of us who can find out current and up to date information about the life of the church via the blog if we will keep it up to date and if we all make it a habit to book in and check it out just once a week.


Thanks


Steve
