THE CHURCH of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Milford Haven has welcomed Elder and Sister Galloway from Worksop, England, who moved down here in June.

Not paid by the Church, they work throughout Pembrokeshire to not only help the members of the Church, but also the whole community. They will be here for between nine and 18 months. Elder and Sister Galloway want to help all people to learn to care for each other and in turn themselves. The Church in Milford has a beautiful new chapel in Johnston on the corner of the Milford Road. Built in 2012 it is open to all who wish to visit it. Each Thursday the chapel hosts an “open house” between 5:00pm and 6.30pm for anyone to come and visit the chapel. Visitors are welcome to look around, talk to members and missionaries to find out what we really believe and clear up any myths some people may tell you about them. Normal services are held on Sundays between 10am and 1pm and cater for all ages and the main service is held between 11.50am and 1pm. During the week meetings are held for young people, the ladies of the church (Relief Society) and other meetings when needed. The branch is also trying to assist in the community and on July 26 they are undertaking a sponsored walk on behalf of a local young persons mental health charity. Elder and Sister Galloway are assisted in their work by young missionaries, Elders Lee and Kerr, who both come from the USA.

Group marks December meeting with charity collection and Christmas celebrations

NARBELLES WI rounded off the year with a festive December meeting featuring a bring-and-share buffet, party games and a Secret Santa gift exchange.

Members also used the occasion to support families in need across the county, collecting food items and presenting a £120 cheque to Ann Watling from Pembrokeshire Food Bank. The donation represents the proceeds of the group’s bucket collection during Narberth Civic Week 2024.

A spokesperson for the WI said the group was delighted to finish the year “with fun, friendship and a chance to give something back to the community.”

MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service held its annual Charity Carol Service on Wednesday (Dec 10) at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel in Crymych.

The event brought together members of the local community alongside Fire Service staff for an evening of carols, readings and festive refreshments, marking the Christmas season in a warm and inclusive atmosphere.

This year’s service supported two important charities — the Fire Fighters Charity and Cancer Research Wales — with all proceeds going directly towards their ongoing work.

A total of £597 was raised on the night, which will be shared equally between the two charities.

The Service thanked the congregation at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel for hosting the event, as well as everyone who gave their time, support and generosity to make the evening such a success.

Castle Inn fun runners back festive charity event

THE ANNUAL 3 Amigos Christmas toy bike run is under way this afternoon (Saturday), with hundreds of motorcyclists setting off from Pembroke to raise funds for children’s services.

Riders gathered at The Commons car park in Pembroke from around midday before departing shortly after 1:00pm. The festive convoy is travelling along its traditional route, taking in Pembroke Dock and continuing through parts of the county including Neyland, Milford Haven and Haverfordwest.

The event is organised by the 3 Amigos and Dollies Motorcycle Group and has become a much-anticipated Christmas tradition in west Wales, with toys and donations collected for children receiving care within the Hywel Dda University Health Board area.

Also supporting the event are fun runners from the Castle Inn in Pembroke, who have been fundraising in aid of the 3 Amigos. The group are pictured alongside participants from today’s run.

The 3 Amigos have been raising funds for children’s wards and health charities for more than twenty-five years, with their Easter and Christmas events continuing to make a positive difference to young patients and their families.

Organisers have thanked the public for their support and asked road users to be mindful of the large convoy as it passes through towns and villages this afternoon.
