Here is just a quick late note about a Saint David’s Day celebration in Delta Pennsylvania (USA) on Sunday, Feb, 27. It’s a special worship service at the Rehoboth Welsh Church at 2:30 PM at 1029 Atom Road. You can read a little about our church at the web site https://rehobothwelshchurch.weebly.com
You can even get a map and directions at Mapquest.com
The service is at 2:30 PM. We welcome new folks. I’d be happy to be in correspondence with anyone who might be interested.
