Sunday 19th October
In the days when there is so much media negativity given to young people it was so good to be part of this service which was at the start of One World Week.
The service was taken by our own FURY Group - Fellowship of United Reformed Youth - and they started by introducing themselves. It was great to see a 'Liverpool' supporter' standing next to a 'Manchester United' supporter in friendship, and to hear their wide range of abilities from horse riding to drama to football to music.
The theme of the service was the Environment and our World. Their presentations, prayers and sketches were excellent. Heather - FURY's leader - did a survey amongst the congregation which showed that we do mostly try our best with all the recycling issues, but maybe could do a little better.
I would like to wish all the members of FURY good luck in the future and hope this group continues to grow and flourish, Well done to you all.

Craft Fair draws the crowds |

Whichever way you came into Dyserth you were faced with a series of three placards advertising the Horeb Craft Fair - the work of Heather and David who had been round hammering them in to the verges. This not only resulted in more customers, but also in more stalls, as craft groups and individuals asked to be part of the event.
In the end there were ten selling points with goods ranging from chutney to hand made jigsaw puzzles. The café was kept busy, and when the totting up was done the church benefited by £268.
The next day was harvest, with splendid displays excellently shown off by cunning use of our new staging. The table which invited gifts for the Rhyl Night Shelter was overflowing with goodies, much to the delight of Andrew Marshall who took them away. Different village organisations had each decorated at window sill, so that the whole place looked suitably festive.
A lot of thanks are due to a lot of people, so we won't even try mentioning names; but just say to everyone 'well done!'

Credit Crisis |

'Turbulent' is a word that has been used many times over the past few weeks. That the financial stability that we seem to have enjoyed for so long might be under threat first came to our consciences over a year ago when the Northern Rock bank saw a 'run' on its accounts and an estimated £1 billion pounds was withdrawn by savers in just a few days. Since then the crisis has only deepened, and now it seems we live in an uncertain world as far as the economy is concerned with the only winners being those ready to give quick advice to worried investors.
This uncertainty has prompted people to ask questions about the things that they thought they could rely upon - like banks for example whose power and influence over all our lives has far exceeded anyone's expectations. It has also brought home the fragility of our comfortable existence - how when one domino falls, others quickly follow. No-one is immune and commentators suggest that we will increasingly have to get used to this instability and adjust our behaviour accordingly.
