In December 2007 we moved all our
Sunday services to a different church.
We now celebrate the Liturgy (Eucharist)
every Sunday at Christ Church
on the Oystermouth Road, Swansea.
(As you go West from the middle of Swansea,
take the A4067 Oystermouth Road.
Christ Church is on the right hand side,
just West of the Swansea Prison,
almost opposite County Hall.)
