All Souls Service

for 1 hour
St Lawrence Church, Towcester
Towcester, NN12 6AD, United Kingdom

All Souls is a time when we remember before God those whom we love but see no longer. It is an opportunity to remember those who have died, whether recently or many years ago, to give thanks for their lives and to hold our memories, our grief and our hope in the presence of God.

Join us for a gentle and reflective service of readings, music and prayer, with an opportunity to light a candle in memory of someone you love.

Everyone is welcome, whether your loss is recent or long ago, and whether or not you regularly come to church.

St Bartholomew Church, Greens Norton

Greens Norton is large village with a population of around 1600 and which fortunately still has a Post Office / shop, local butchers, pub, community centre, Royal British Legion Club and a primary school . 

St Bartholomew's has a service every Sunday at 11:15am where you will find a warm welcome from the congregation.  If 11:15am is too late for you don't worry as there is always a weekly 9:15am service at one of the other services in the benefice.  

As benefice we are very active across our communities every day, with weekly Tots Groups, leading Collective Worship in our Primary School, supporting wellbeing in the local secondary school (Sponne School) based in Towcester, services and visiting at local residential and nursing homes, and as part of Churches Together in Towcester supporting the work of the Foodbank and Renew Wellbeing Cafe.  There are many other areas of community life in which the church plays it part and we have strong links with local groups and organisations including the Royal British Legion. 

We have a Children and Families Leader who works across the benefice leading seasonal family focused events.  During the week her main focus is split between the parishes of Greens Norton and Towcester. These are interactive and creative sessions where we encourage the whole family to take part and engage and reflect on faith for them and what spirituality means for them.

We have a benefice we have a small but dedicated Mother Union who alternate their meetings between Towcester and Greens Norton.

There are many highlights during the year so to find our more please look at our website, weekly mailing and Facebook page.

We produce a weekly email which is sent out Friday lunch time and includes details of that weekends services, reflection for the coming weekend, events and much more. To sing up for the mailing please use this link https://us19.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=4b45eabfed49cbf95f1c28c5d&id=1d7c4fe915
