Hearts full of Hope on display throughout the diocese
Hearts full of Hope are appearing throughout the diocese and there's still time to take part.
Organiser Clare Morgan, the children, youth and families officer for Greater Brecon, said: "It’s great to see whole communities embracing the ‘Hearts full of Hope’ campaign. Churches, schools, businesses and homes in Brynmawr, Llansamlet, Brecon, Llanelwedd, Dolau, Trallong and Aberbran all have hearts on display and schools and groups have included the campaign in their celebrations for Saint Dwynwen’s Day and Saint Valentine’s Day."
Here are just a few of the places around the country that you can see the hearts on display:"
Hearts are on display at:
- Gladestry Church in Wales School,
- Llanelwedd Church in Wales School
- Llanfihangel Rhydithon-Dolau- Community Primary School
- Brynmawr community
- Llansamlet parish after school club
- St Samlet's nurture groups
- Morrisons store in Brecon
- St Mary’s Church, Brecon
- Brecon Cathedral
The campaign began last year to bring hope to our communities during the pandemic and this year there are eight different heart designs to choose from. You could write your church name inside a heart, create a display or add a heart design to your social media profile using the hashtag #heartsfullofhope
The campaign runs up to St Valentine’s Day. A number of heart-themed activities have been created for local communities to try including a pebble display, heart labyrinth, bird feeders and more. All of the activities are free and can be found on the cyfgreaterbrecon social media pages. To choose a heart design for your social media and to view some of the displays around Wales visit the cyfgreaterbrecon Facebook page @cyfgreaterbrecon
Prayer pebbles are on display outside the north door at Brecon Cathedral and if you would like to take part pebbles can be painted with a picture or write a word using paints or pens. PVA glue can be used to seal painted rocks but you may have to use a few layers to properly coat the entire rock and you will need to let the rock dry completely before applying another coat.
