Commemoration of the Faithful Departed 'All Souls' Eve'

for 1 hour
St Martin's Church, Barholm-with-Stowe
Main Road Barholm Stamford, PE9 4RA, United Kingdom

Please join us for this very special service!

If you would like to hear the name of a loved one read aloud at our annual requiem service, please email names to [email protected], text, or telephone Tel. 07484 201413; Carole will collate the names with the lists from each village (at the back of church).

If you know someone who is mourning or you think this service may help, then please invite them and bring them along.

We have a choir to help lead us in worship, the choir is led by Fergus Black with the St Martin's Singers of Stamford and Julia at the organ (There will be twenty singers in the choir).

As we have done in previous years, incense will help engage all our senses and help us imagine our prayers ascending to God.

There will also be an opportunity to light a candle, which is especially relevant if you don’t want names to be read aloud. This will happen before the service starts so the candles may shine brightly like prayers before us.
