Lights of Love Remembrance Event from Katharine House Hospice

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
St Mary's Banbury
Address
St Mary's Church Horse Fair Banbury, OX16 0AA, United Kingdom

For many of our community, this is an important moment in the year; a chance to come together with others and remember those we have lost.
We will follow a similar programme to last year featuring special music, poems and reflections from members of staff at the hospice.
This event is open to those of all faiths and none.
The event will start at 7.00pm at Banbury Cross, for the traditional switching on of the Christmas Tree lights, followed by the main event at 7.15pm at St Mary’s Church. We expect the event to finish by 8.30pm.

St Mary's Banbury

Welcome to St Mary's Church in Banbury. We are proud to be part of Inclusive Church, a network of churches who strive to celebrate and affirm every person and does not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
