Message from the Minister

Traditionally, August has been thought of as the holiday month. A time of relaxation and an opportunity to turn our backs on the normal responsibilities and to enjoy the beauty of sea and mountain and all the attractions which are available these days.

Many will be heading to the National Eisteddfod, to enjoy and be amazed again this year at the talented people of our small nation.

But, while people will be relaxing, God will be at work - calling, gifting, teaching, comforting, challenging and rebuking. 

We are so grateful that our God is a living God, awake and industrious and “The hand of the Lord is not shortened that he cannot save.”

 If it’s the Lord’s will, Brenda and I will have completed twenty years of ministry at Carmel come the end of this month. We are indebted to many people and can honestly say that we love this Church at Carmel and we thank the Saviour for an opportunity to serve Him in such a loving, supportive fellowship. “Hitherto has the Lord helped us;” and in the power of the Holy Spirit we face the future, in the knowledge that God is for us - and if God is for us, who can be against us.

H.Vincent Watkins (Minister)
