Choral Carol Service CANCELLED

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Andrew's Presteigne
Broad Street Presteigne, LD8 2AF, United Kingdom

We had planned to hold a traditional Carol Service at St Andrew's this Sunday evening, but due to the worsening coronavirus situation, and following announcements by the First Minister of Wales today, we are very sorry to announce that this cannot now take place.
Our Rector, Reverend Steve Hollinghurst, says: 'The Covid situation has changed very rapidly since we started planning our Christmas services and the sudden arrival of Omicron has taken us across the line of acceptable risk.
'The announcements by the First Minister of Wales last evening and today confirm that we should not be encouraging folk to mix with large groups of strangers in indoor settings.
Please pass the word around, take good care of yourselves and STAY SAFE.'

St Andrew's Presteigne

St Andrew’s is the Church of England Parish Church for Presteigne. There has been a church building on the site for over 1000 years. This ancient place of prayer is open to visitors as much as possible. The benefice or group of churches also includes St Michael's, Discoed; All Saints', Kinsham; St Michael and All Angels', Knill; and St Michael and All Angels', Lingen.

Presteigne and Discoed are in Powys, Wales; Kinsham, Knill and Lingen are in England, but all our churches belong to the Church of England Diocese of Hereford.

Rector: The Revd Prebendary Stephen Hollinghurst
Associate Minister: The Reverend Debbie Venables

Our main Sunday morning service is generally at 11 am.
The style of that service varies from short informal family services to Holy Communion from Common Worship or the Book of Common Prayer.  Visitors are always welcome. Details of all services can be found on notice boards in the church porch and by the Broad Street gate; and in the Parish Magazine.

We are an inclusive church and extend a welcome to everyone in the name of Jesus Christ.
