All Souls Service - A Time to Remember

for 1 hour
All Saints Merriott
Church Street Merriott Crewkerne, TA16 5PS, United Kingdom

We warmly invite everyone who has been bereaved to come and remember their loved ones at our All Souls Service.

It’s a quiet, gentle hour to light a candle, reflect and be among others who understand. The names of our departed loved ones will be taken to the altar for prayers during the service, so if there is someone you would like remembered, we would be glad to include them.

You don’t need to be a regular churchgoer, and there is no need to book. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you are welcome to come, to sit quietly or simply to listen. Refreshments will be served afterwards, with a chance for a cup of tea and a chat if you’d like one.

When: Sunday 1st November, 4pm
Where: All Saints Church, Merriott
Refreshments: Served after the service

All Saints Lopen

Welcome to All Saints Church, Lopen — a beautiful and peaceful corner of Somerset with roots stretching back over 800 years. Whether you're a regular in our pews, visiting the village for the first time, or simply curious about what goes on here, you'll find a warm welcome waiting for you.

We're a small, friendly congregation at the heart of the Lopen community which is part of the Merriott Benefice together with St George's, Hinton St George; St Nicholas', Dinnington; St Michael and All Angels' Church, Haselbury Plunkett and St. Martins, North Perrott . 

We'd love to see you at one of our services and events here and/or any church within our benefice — details below — or simply drop in during the week to enjoy the peace and history of this special building.

If you're planning a wedding, christening, or need support at a difficult time, please do get in touch. We're here for the whole community, not just on Sundays.

**Stay in the loop**

Wondering what's on, when to join us, or what's been happening across our six churches, you can join our email distribution list by contact Julia Hicks the Rector and our News & Services section is the place to look. You'll find up-to-date service times for every church in the benefice, the latest parish news, upcoming events, and anything else you need to know to get involved — whether you're planning your first visit or you've been part of our community for years.

Check back regularly, as we update it throughout the month — and if there's something you'd like to see included, we'd love to hear from you.
