Services in the Presteigne Group of Parishes on Sunday 17 August (Trinity 9) are as follows:

11.00 Morning Service (Common Worship: contemporary language) Presteigne

This will be a special service to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day

6.30 Choral Evensong (Book of Common Prayer: traditional language) Lingen

The Choir of St Andrew’s will visit St Michael and All Angels, Lingen to lead the music at this quiet early evening service.

If you are unable to join us in person for either of our services, you can find the Collect and Gospel Reading for the ninth Sunday of Trinity elsewhere on this page. You can also download a copy of the VJ80 service that we will be using at St Andrew's in the morning to read at home.
