A new series of Oedfa Dechrau Canu Dechrau Canmol returns to S4C this Sunday (17 January), in response to the latest lockdown.

The service will broadcast every Sunday morning at 11.00, with hymns being selected from the Dechrau Canu Dechrau Canmol archive.

The first service will be conducted by the Reverend Evan Morgan of Capel Salem, Canton as he looks at the hopes of the new year.

Llinos Wynne, S4C's Fictional Commissioner says:

"We know that many of our chapels and churches have had to keep their doors shut over the pandemic, and places of worship that have remained open have restricted the number of people who can attend.

"The Dechrau Canu Dechrau Canmol Service is therefore a very effective way for worshipers to come together as one large congregation on a Sunday morning.

As we have seen from the excellent response we received to the first series, it offers companionship, comfort and hope to thousands of people, and it is great to be able to meet demand."
