Next Thursday, 26 May, is Ascension Day, which marks Jesus's final farewell to his disciples and his ascent to Heaven. In Christian art, such as this stained glass window in Chepstow, the ascending Jesus is often shown blessing an earthly group below him, signifying the entire Church.We shall mark Ascension Day with a special service at St Andrew's at 8.00 am, to which all are very welcome.St Luke Ch 40 verse 50: "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy."
The Annual Parochial Church Meeting for St Andrew's, Presteigne with St Michael's, Discoed, takes place in St Andrew's Church at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 25 May 2022.This is our opportunity to discuss practical matters to do with how our church is run: we will receive reports on finance and building maintenance, elect members of our Parochial Church Council and representatives to the Kington and Weobley Deanery Synod, our local 'subgroup' of the Church of England Diocese of Hereford.Please do come along if you are able. This is an important meeting for EVERYONE who attends our two churches.[PHOTO: Luke Southern, Unsplash]
