Services in the Presteigne Group of Parishes on Sunday 4 February (Candlemas/second before Lent) are as follows:

9.30 Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer: traditional language) Lingen

11.00 Choral Holy Communion for Candlemas Presteigne

We will be celebrating the lovely Festival of Candlemas in our Church Services on Sunday (though the actual day of the Festival is Friday 2 February).

Rev Steve invites you to join us in celebrating The Presentation of Christ in the Temple, as it's also known. It marks the official end of the Festal cycle of Christmas and Epiphany and our annual calling to mind the accounts of the birth and childhood of Jesus.

Everyone is welcome to either of these services, but if you are unable to join us in person you can find A Service for Use at Home at Candlemas elsewhere on this page, together with the lovely reading telling the story of Simeon and Anna's encounter with the Infant Jesus and his parents.

We hope you enjoy the service and experience something of the light and optimism of Candlemas.
