Crib Service

for 1 hour
St Andrew's Presteigne
Broad Street Presteigne, LD8 2AF, United Kingdom
Children and their families and friends are invited to join us for the traditional Christmas Eve gathering of the Christmas characters in the stable, as we hear the story of the Nativity: the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and the visit of the shepherd and the angels to see him lying in the manger, watched by Mary and Joseph and the innkeeper's animals.

St Andrew's Presteigne

St Andrew’s is the Church of England Parish Church for Presteigne. There has been a church building on the site for over 1000 years. This ancient place of prayer is open to visitors as much as possible. The benefice or group of churches also includes St Michael's, Discoed; All Saints', Kinsham; St Michael and All Angels', Knill; and St Michael and All Angels', Lingen.

Presteigne and Discoed are in Powys, Wales; Kinsham, Knill and Lingen are in England, but all our churches belong to the Church of England Diocese of Hereford.

Rector: The Revd Prebendary Stephen Hollinghurst
Associate Minister: The Reverend Debbie Venables

Our main Sunday morning service is generally at 11 am.
The style of that service varies from short informal family services to Holy Communion from Common Worship or the Book of Common Prayer.  Visitors are always welcome. Covid-19 restrictions have eased, but we will continue to follow guidance from the UK and Welsh governments and the Church of England on mask-wearing, social distancing, etc. Details of all services can be found on notice boards in the church porch and by the Broad Street gate; and in the Parish Magazine.

We are an inclusive church and extend a welcome to everyone in the name of Jesus Christ.
