Pet Remembrance Service

for 1 hour
St Luke's Downham
St Luke's Downham, Corner of Northover and Shroffold Road, BR1 5JR, United Kingdom

Many of us have had the joy of pets who have given us so much love, and the heartbreak of losing them.

Saturday 5th July is National Pet Remembrance Day and we are having a short, simple service at St Luke’s Downham to give thanks and remember our beloved pets.

All are welcome to come – we will sing a couple of simple hymns (All Things Bright and Beautiful and All Creatures of Our God and King), a short reflection on the gift of pets, and a chance to light a candle or another act of remembrance.

Any questions please contact Rev Nick

St Mark's Downham

St Mark's is a small church on the edge of the Downham Estate, located on the corner of Baudwin Road and Castillon Road. Most of the action at St Mark's is focused on our midweek activities, including Welcome Club, Messy Church, and our Mental Health and Wellbeing Group.

St Mark's does not currently have a Sunday service, so we join with our sister church, St Luke's a short distance away. St Luke's is located on the corner of Northover and Shroffold Road, BR1 5JR (the 124 bus goes from St Mark's to St Luke's) and the service is at 11am.

Hall Hire: If you would like to hire our hall, please email [email protected] - there is no phone number for hall hire enquiries, these are dealt with via email. 

Do NOT call the vicar about hall hire!
