Country Chapels

There are several chapels scattered around in the rural areas that have no pastor of their own so are dependent upon other shepherds to come and feed the flock. Pembroke Dock is also considered rural, but not so sparse as some other places. Many of the remote chapels were built in inaccessible places in the early days of non-conformist freedom to avoid the disdainful eyes of authorities opposed to the Gospel. Carvan Chapel is surrounded by fields outside of Tafarnspite and Molleston Chapel is hidden away down a lane lined with trees off the beaten track. Some chapels have afternoon services partly to avoid conflict with milking times but also to avail themselves of the pastors whose churches have morning and evening services. The Lord has other sheep that are not of this fold, and these are precious to the Great Shepherd of the sheep. Let us remember them in our prayers, for we are but one flock with one Shepherd.
