Services in the Presteigne Group of Parishes on Sunday 20 December (Advent 4) are as follows:9.30 am Holy Communion (Common Worship) Lingen6.30 pm Carol Service St Andrew's, PresteigneNB While we will hope to make the Carol Service at St Andrew's as traditional in atmosphere as possible, we are not allowed to have congregational singing, so the carols will be sung by a small choir, and the service will be shorter than usual. We do have space to welcome the usual number of people and still observe distancing rules, but it would be a good idea to arrive early in order to ensure that you get a seat. Everyone attending must wear a face covering unless medically exempt, and we ask you to sanitise your hands on arrival. But everyone is welcome!NB Photo is of the St Andrew's Carol Service 2019 - no physical distancing required then!

Dear FriendsElsewhere on this page is a Service for use at Home in Advent along with the two readings for this Sunday - Advent Sunday.I'll be sending out readings for each of the Sundays in Advent and a service for use at home at Christmas when the time comes.I hope this finds you safe and well and coping with the various complications of lockdown and the like...I knew it would end in tiers.The new edition of the Parish Magazine is out in print and a version we can email to you will be available later this week - but print subscribers on the English side of the border may have to wait until lockdown is over before your copy can be delivered.There you will find details of what we're planning and hoping to offer in the way of services at Christmas. It won't be quite the usual pattern, and we will sorely miss some of the regular events that we just can't deliver this time. But I hope that there will be something for everyone and that, if you are able and allowed to do so, you'll join us in person.With very best wishes for a Happy New (Christian) Year!Stevex
