Welcome to St Grwst's Church, Llanrwst WELCOME to St Grwst's Church. CROES O i Eglwys Sant Grwst.

About Us /Amdanom Ni Hello, we are St Grwst Church. Born in the early 15th Century and located in the heart of Wales in the tranquil town of Llanrwst. Our walls have seen 550 years of rich history and religion and are the home to many a story, legend and myth. Come visit us and lose yourself in our stories, beautiful architecture and breathtaking surroundings. Come to a service, come to an event, come for a cup of tea, come for the friendship! When you enter St Grwst's Church, you'll find the following Welcome message near the door. We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay, questioning, black, white, well-heeled or down at heel. We especially welcome wailing babies and excited toddlers. We welcome you whether you can sing like Bryn Terfel or just growl quietly to yourself. You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing,’ just woken up or just got out of prison. We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the Archbishop of Wales, or haven’t been to church since Christmas ten years ago. We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome keep-fit mums, football dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems, are down in the dumps or don’t like ‘organised religion.’ We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or are here because granny is visiting and wanted to come to Church. We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as kids or got lost looking for the Co-op and wound up here by mistake. We welcome pilgrims, tourists, seekers, doubters… and you!
