  • Healing Service held on the 1st Monday of each month at 7.30 pm in St Illtud's church which is very well attended and much needed in the community.
  • Mothers' Union - the 1st Wednesday of every month at 7.00 pm in St James' Wick, followed by a meeting in Wick School at 7.30 pm. If you are interested please contact Mrs Julia Jenking through the Parish Office, 01446 795551.  You will have a very warm welcome.
  • Toddler Church meets every Wednesday afternoon in St Illtud's during term time at 1.30 pm.  This is a wonderful way of bringing young babies, toddlers, young mothers/fathers and grandmothers/grandfathers together for a relaxed worship and a cup of tea or coffee. Toddlers Church meets in the West Church of St Illtud's, Llantwit Major and everyone is welcome.  There are toys for the children, stories, much running about and juice and biscuits to finish.  The children love the ritual of 'tolling' the bell for the start of service and the lighting of the candles. They have their own hymn booklet with action songs which even the 2 year olds remember!  Mrs Lynn Brown plays the piano in her usual imaginative way which completely involves both children and adults and the services are a great oasis in the middle of a busy week!  If you are interested in this service please just come along - you will be welcomed with open arms!  
  • Monday House Group meets in the home of Mr John Rowley at Brook Cottage every Monday at 1.30 pm to explore their faith and learn more about it.  He can be contacted on 01446 792801
  •  Faith and Fellowship meets very Friday morning during term time at 9.30 am at a variable venue.  Members are mostly young mothers/fathers whose children are in school.

  • Organists - the nine churches all have their own organists but new talent is always encouraged.  If you feel you would enjoy playing the organ and would like to venture forth, please contact  Mrs Lynn Brown on 01446 793804. She will give you all the help you need.
