A Festival of Flowers and Choral music to gladden hearts

A thing of beauty and joy for ever

CID’s Friends at St Illtud’s give thanks for CID and its children

The end of August is a particularly busy time for Carol Henderson and the Charity’s wonderful band of supporters in Llantwit Major as it is the weekend of Church’s Annual Flower Festival. and Concert of Praise. Carole uses all her artful ingenuity to create her display for Children in Distress which this year stood pride of place in a small niche to the left of the historic church’s aisle. This floral tour de force represented “a small 'family' with the flame of the Holy Spirit in their midst, encircled by God, and all who help and care for them”.

As ever the congregation also had a wonderful Concert of Praise in St Illtud's. Their superb choir Cantorion Illtud, led the songs of praise and the concert finished with a rousing rendition of "I'll go in the strength of the Lord, in paths he has marked for my feet."

The music and the beauty of the flower arrangements delighted and gladdened the hearts of all who attended and brought their best wishes and prayers to all the children in the charity’s care in Romania.
