MANY of the local Ledbury churches will come together this Sunday (January 22) for a joint service in St Michael and All Angels Church.

Members of the various churches will be contributing toward the service with Bible readings and prayers, and the morning speaker will be Rev Dr Mathew Clark from Regents Theological College (Elim), West Malvern.

The special service will start at 10.30am.

A spokesman said: "Although history shows that many religious groups have waged war against each other in the past, the Churches Together initiative seeks reconciliation between the churches and a common purpose in reaching the world for Christ and showing His love and compassion."
