Seion Independent Chapel

JOHN EVANS

Seion Chapel was erected during the last century.
Between 1940 and 1980 Sunday morning and Sunday evening services were
held together with Sunday school in the afternoon. During the week evening prayer meetings were also held as well as a young people's guild meeting. On a monthly basis a sisterhood meeting would be held for the lady members. Unfortunately, by 1990, there remains only one service on Sunday. Sunday school for the children has been discontinued but the sisterhood meetings are still held. In 1940 the membership was 231 but by 1990 it has fallen to 122.
In the early years of 1940 it was a struggle to maintain the up eep of the chapel as well as the manse, so the manse was sold during the late 1970s. Since then, Seion Chapel has had no resident minister.
	The Chapel has now joined the English Congregational Chapel at Amman
ford ahd latterly Gwynfryn Congregational Chapel.
Today, the financial state of the chapel is a healthy one and, consequently, much work has been carried out during the late 1980s in making the chapel and its surroundings more structurally sound.
Between 1940 and 1990 there-have been five ministers at Seion Chapel, namely Rev. M. Morgan, Rev. W. J. Rees, Rev. Gwyn Evans, Rev. Stanley Davies, Rev. T. H. Mudd.
