Sunday 28 November is Advent Sunday, and we celebrate the start of the church's year with two services: a traditional service of Holy Communion in Kinsham, using the Book of Common Prayer, and a special Advent Service in Presteigne.Everyone is very welcome to attend either of these services. Please be aware that it is mandatory to wear a face covering in Presteigne, unless you are exempt, according to the Welsh government's rules for places of worship, and in Kinsham we would be grateful if you would do so while entering and leaving the church.[PHOTO: Shutterstock]
