Longest Night - Memorial Service

for 2 hours
St Paul's Church Blackley
St Paul Blackley Victoria Avenue Blackley Manchester M9 6RA, M9 6RA, United Kingdom

We recognise and understand that Christmas time can be a difficult time, particularly if you are missing a loved one. The Longest Night Memorial Service aims to bring people together who are mourning the loss of loved ones, and those who just want to bring their grief or loneliness to God. We read out the names of those we have done funerals for during the last year, and there is an opportunity for you to write the name of your loved ones on a Christmas ornament to hang on the special prayer tree in church. There is a buffet supper after the service and you are invited to join us for as much of the evening as you wish to.
