A PEMBROKE Dock church is to feel the full effect of flower power this week (July 22 to 27).

St John’s Church, Bush Street, is hosting another of its highly successful flower festivals which began yesterday (Tuesday, July 22) and will run until Sunday (July 27).

The festival, which was last held in 2008, is open to the public from 11am to 4pm.

It will be a vivid and fragrant celebration of 'Our Town' in its Bicentenary year.

Talented flower arrangers, not to mention businesses and other organisations, are getting behind the festival by contributing arrangements great and small.

Christians who worship at St John's will be on hand to provide a warm welcome, light lunches and delcious snacks.

Members of the clergy, including new curate Rev Caroline Mansell and Pembroke Dock vicar Rev Nicky Skipworth, will also attend.

Worship will also take at 10am on Thursday and 9.30am and 6pm on Sunday.

Rev Skipworth said: "I am so pleased that St John's is hosting this major event in the life of our parish and that we have been given so many wonderful opportunities to lay on an official Bicentenary event by the planning group.

“It is going to be so beautiful but has taken a great deal of prayer and practical effort to bring off. Well done to the team, especially Rosemary and Hylda.

“We very much look forward to welcoming the community into a place of worship which actually belongs to them as well as to us."
