A Service Remembering Those Who Have Died

As well as the awful personal tragedies associated with over 134,000 coronavirus-related deaths in the UK, sadly the restrictions on travelling, visiting and meeting together have also had a terrible impact on many other situations. Most people I know have been affected by being unable to visit someone who was very ill or organise/attend a funeral as they would have wanted to.

We are therefore holding a quiet reflective service when we can remember those people we have lost, listen to some gentle music and pray for them and all who grieve. If you have a name or names you would like to have read aloud (whether or not you are able to attend) please contact us at [email protected] or phone 01347 878242. Obviously, the church will also be open throughout October for those who are unable to attend the service.
