New vicar for St Dyfnog's

Val Rowlands, the new vicar of St Dyfnog's,
with churchwardens June Hughes and Reg Fardoe
November 12th 2014 saw a wonderful ceremony at St. Dyfnog's Church  before a packed church, the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Right Reverend Gregory K Cameron performed the Institution of the Rev. Val Rowlands as Rector of Llandyrnog and Llangwyfan and Vicar of Llanrhaeadr and Nantglyn. It was a spectacular ceremony attended by many of the clergy, churchwardens and worshippers from the four churches concerned. The whole service was impressive and took one back to the foundation of the church, with the beautiful language, inspired singing and a very thought provoking sermon preached by the Bishop. The ceremony was concluded with a buffet provided by the ladies of the four churches, an amazing spread appeared as if by magic, and was eaten with relish very little being left at the end of a most special evening.

The following Saturday, November 15th, was the occasion of the Autumn Craft Fair - go to NEWS for more information, and pictures.
