Praying Together in the Presteigne Group of ChurchesWe invite you to join us in each of our churches in turn, to pray for our local communities, and for the world, and to feel God's presence with us. Each session starts at 11 am and you may come and go as you please. The dates and places are as follows:St Andrew's Presteigne Tuesday 21 June St Michael's Discoed Tuesday 28 JuneAll Saints Kinsham Tuesday 5 JulySt Michael's Knill Tuesday 12 JulySt Michael's Lingen Tuesday 19 JulyAll are very welcome to attend. This is an initiative run by the Kington and Weobley benefice, of which Presteigne is a part, and each benefice or group of churches in the deanery has been running similar sessions over the past few weeks, praying for one another as well as for their own communities.[PHOTO: Shutterstock]

Most of the restrictions on worship imposed in response to the pandemic have now been relaxed in both our English and our Welsh churches, although we would ask everyone to be aware of the needs of those who may still feel vulnerable, and observe a measure of social distancing when moving around the church. The wearing of masks during services is now optional and singing is warmly encouraged.HOWEVER we have one request as a result of the easing of restrictions, which is that you should not come to church if you have any Covid-like symptoms at all. We are very sorry to discourage anyone who wishes to join us for our services, but we feel this is the best way to protect everyone in the community while the virus is still a threat.If you are unable to join us in person, you can find a Serrvice for Use at Home on Pentecost elsewhere on this page. It includes a thanksgiving prayer for the Queen's Jubilee. [PHOTO: Jacob King / PA Wire Images]
