St Andrew's is supporting Presteigne's inaugural Wings of Change Festival, run by the Liminal Space discussion group. In these turbulent times of health concerns and global challenges, some have lost jobs, family members, and contact with friends and loved ones, others have dealt with stress, illness, and isolation. Some of us have lost our dreams and sense of certainty. Come and explore these issues, learn and laugh together through a week of workshops, creativity, film screenings, talks and ceremony. Wings of Change concludes with a ceremony in St Andrew's at 3 pm on Sunday 6 November. The full timetable can be found elsewhere on this page and more information at facebook.com/wingsofchangefestival
