Bishop Mary visits Llanfair Uniting Church

Bishop Mary and Rev’d Emma have visited Llanfair Uniting Church in Penrhys in Rhondda Ministry Area to learn about the many ways the church makes a difference to the community.

Llanfair is an ecumenical church, supported and recognised by eight of the historic Churches in Wales (the Church in Wales, the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Baptist Union of Wales, the Congregational Federation, the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church of Wales, the Union of Welsh Independents, and the United Reformed Church).

Bishop Mary enjoyed a tour of the church with Sharon Rees, who has been serving there since 1991.

The church meets so many of the community’s needs and is such a good example of different denominations working together. Not only is Llanfair geographically in the centre of Penrhys but it is at the centre of the life of the community.
