Iwan Jenkins, CPS: "There is sufficient evidence to charge Mark Bridger with the murder of April Jones"
A church service for missing five-year-old April Jones is to take place in the mid Wales town from where she vanished.
Hundreds of people are expected at the service, to be led by the Bishop of Bangor the Right Reverend Andrew John.
There will be a procession through Machynlleth from her family home to the town's St Peter's parish church.
April vanished on Monday. On Saturday, local man Mark Bridger was charged with murder, child abduction and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Mr Bridger is due before magistrates in Aberystwyth on Monday.
Speaking before the service, Bishop John said: "I will be speaking just to say that in tragic times we need to be there for one another.

Chief Constable Jackie Roberts and Superintendent Ian John say the search for April will continue
"That is what we will be doing there, offering a prayer and hope and comfort and if people feel that to be the case it will be something good."
Police, who continue to search for the missing girl, say they have been "overwhelmed" by the response of the local community and other volunteers.
Hundreds have taken part in the search for the girl in the rugged countryside around the town.
On Saturday, 10 specialist search teams carried out a systematic and methodical search in and around the town.
But on Sunday, Dyfed-Powys Police Supt Ian John said that it was likely that the mountain rescue searches would be scaled down within the next day or so with the focus becoming more police led.
Until then he said teams were continuing to comb the area.
'Focused search'"We've got a full contingent of police search teams and mountain rescue teams and they are all getting ready to go out. The weather is set fair so they are all really focused on getting on with this search," he said about the efforts on Sunday.
"The mountain rescue team are here with us today but it is fair to say they will be scaling down their search in the next day or so but the police search intensifies.
"It is very much focusing in and around the Machynlleth area and we'll see more focused, smaller scale searches in and around the town," he said.
Speaking of the scaling down of the mountain rescue searches, he added: "Logistically that's likely to be scaled down... and moving more towards the police search teams which are going to increase - almost double in number to what we had just a couple of days ago."
Dyfed-Powys Police Chief Constable Jackie Roberts, speaking on Saturday, said the inquiry had been one of the "most complex and fast moving" in the history of the force "and one our communities have never had to face before".
"It has been marked by the coming together of people from across the country with one aim in mind, to return April to her family," she said.
"The community of Machynlleth and the surrounding areas turned out in force using social networks to get the message out and appeal for April's safe return.
"In the meantime our efforts to find April will be as meticulous as they have been from the outset of this inquiry until we have exhausted all available options."
Mark Bridger, 46, was arrested the day after April went missing from near her home in Machynlleth.
